**West Virginia's Bowl History:** West Virginia boasts a rich bowl history, with 15 appearances overall. While they’ve had some notable wins in the BCS era (including Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange Bowl championships), they’ve had a mixed record in recent bowl games, with 3-7 appearances in the last 10. The Mountaineers’ ESPN FPI ranking, projected win total, and chances to win are key factors to watch as they aim to return to championship contention. Recent reports highlight LaRon Dues’ commitment to Indiana despite family ties in Morgantown, and Camden Goforth’s tape showcases a nasty streak and future as a multi-year starter at WVU.
