After the week, WVU is now among several other teams with one conference loss. Iowa State sits at 3-1 due to playing one extra game and not experiencing a bye yet. Oklahoma is the only unbeaten Big 12 team at 6-0 overall and 3-0 in conference play.

If West Virginia beat Houston, Neal Brown’s team would be tied with the Sooners in the Big 12 standings at 3-0. Instead, the Hail Mary happened and WVU lost to Houston.
