Locked On West Virginia - Daily Podcast on West Virginia Mountaineers Football & Basketball

The Big 12 Conference has been nothing short of a whirlwind over the past week, marked by a major championship, postseason selection drama, and a groundbreaking business announcement that reinforces its "New Look" identity.Championship and CFP BreakthroughThe week started with the Big 12 Championship Game where Texas Tech defeated BYU in a commanding fashion (34-7). This victory propelled the Red Raiders to a 12-1 record, securing the Big 12's automatic bid to the expanded College Football Playoff. The subsequent CFP rankings confirmed Texas Tech as the No. 4 seed, earning them a crucial first-round bye straight to the Orange Bowl Quarterfinal—a massive statement for the restructured league.Bowl and Political FalloutWhile the Big 12 celebrated Tech's CFP inclusion and the bowl selections for seven other teams, drama erupted over the bubble. Commissioner Brett Yormark publicly backed the CFP committee's decision, despite BYU's exclusion, and notably criticized Notre Dame's Athletic Director for his "egregious" outrage over the Irish being left out. This positioned the Big 12 as a stable, unified partner in the new CFP ecosystem, contrasting sharply with the ACC's turmoil. Adding to the controversy, the conference levied $500,000 fines on Iowa State and Kansas State for opting to skip bowl games, underscoring the conference's commitment to fulfilling its postseason obligations.NFL Partnership AnnouncementPerhaps the most significant long-term news was the conference's announcement of a strategic partnership with the NFL. This collaboration aims to align the two organizations on everything from officiating development and emerging technology to global growth initiatives. This unprecedented move further showcases the Big 12's innovative, business-forward approach under Yormark, establishing a distinct brand identity separate from the traditionalist SEC/Big Ten dynamic.

#WVU #WestVirginiaMountaineers #NealBrown In this explosive deep dive, we break down Neal Brown's controversial claim that he left West Virginia University football in a "better place" than he found it after his firing. We compare his underwhelming 6-year tenure (37-35 record, no AP rankings) to Dana Holgorsen's more successful era (61-41, multiple ranked finishes, iconic bowl wins). From fan protests like "Fire Neal" billboards and plane banners, to his infamous "nice weather" comments, home/away struggles, and refusal to shake up his coaching staff – we cover EVERY incident. Plus, did he really improve on the depleted roster from Holgorsen? With Rich Rodriguez now bringing in portal talent for a rebuild, we debate if Brown's foundation was as solid as he says.

#wvu #mountaineers #big12 WVU Football Transfer Portal Drama: Players Bolting Amid Fan FrustrationIn a tough blow to West Virginia University football, the Mountaineers' roster continues to face upheaval as key players announce their entries into the NCAA Transfer Portal on December 8, 2025. Star running back Jahiem White, who had tantalized fans with social media posts hinting at his return—complete with WVU anthems and declarations of loyalty—ultimately flipped the script by declaring his departure, leaving supporters feeling deeply misled. What seemed like genuine commitment through Instagram interactions (like sharing "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and affirming his jersey number) built false hope for White's role in Rich Rodriguez's offense, only for the portal news to shatter expectations. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman RB Diore Hubbard and sophomore CB Zae Jennings also jumped ship without such public teases, compounding the losses in an already injury-plagued backfield and secondary. Fans, already reeling from a season of setbacks under new coaching, are voicing betrayal online, questioning player loyalty in the NIL era and worrying about the program's stability as Rodriguez eyes portal replacements. This wave of exits highlights the volatile nature of college football, where non-binding social media gestures can hype up a fanbase only to lead to heartbreak. #wvu #mountaineers #big12 #portal #collegefootball #westvirginia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#wvu #mountaineers #USF “Rich Rodriguez is back in Morgantown and his explosive, high-octane, QB-run-first offense is about to be unleashed on the Big 12. With Jahiem White, Diore Hubbard, and several others already in the portal, WVU has scholarships to spend and a massive need for playmakers who can light up the scoreboard in RichRod’s system. In this episode, we break down the TOP transfer portal quarterbacks and skill players who would absolutely COOK in gold & blue — from proven dual-threat monsters who have already posted 3,000-yard passing/1,000-yard rushing seasons to speed demons at WR and versatile RBs that fit for the spread-option attack. We’re talking names, film breakdowns, realistic odds of landing them, NIL fits, and why each one could turn West Virginia into an immediate Big 12 contender in 2026.

#Pitt #Panthers #WVU In one of the biggest recruiting coups of the 2026 cycle, West Virginia has flipped longtime Penn State commit Matt Sieg, the explosive two-way star from Fort Cherry (McDonald, Pa.). The 6-foot-0, 185-pound Rivals Industry four-star (No. 40 safety nationally) picked the Mountaineers over Penn State, Pitt, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, and Indiana in a late-game decision that sent shockwaves through the region.Sieg, who racked up 12,592 total yards and 139 touchdowns in high school while earning first-team all-conference honors on both offense and defense, gives Rich Rodriguez and staff an elite athlete capable of impacting the roster immediately — potentially on both sides of the ball. An early enrollee, Sieg brings elite speed, physicality, ball skills, and a punishing tackling style to Morgantown.This is a signature in-state-area win for West Virginia, plucking one of Western Pennsylvania’s most productive and versatile players away from multiple Power 4 suitors. #Pitt #Panthers #WVU #Mountaineers #big12 #collegefootball #Flip #recruiting #signingday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The argument that BYU and Utah are undervalued by the College Football Playoff Committee often centers on a deep-seated institutional and brand bias that favors traditional powerhouses. Despite both teams—especially after joining the new P4 conference—amassing solid resumes, the committee’s ranking logic appears inconsistent when compared to peer teams from the SEC or Big Ten. For BYU, the undervaluation is evident even in their best years. When the Cougars were undefeated, they were often ranked below one-loss teams from the perceived “elite” conferences, suggesting a penalty for a lack of "brand credibility" rather than on-field performance. After their first loss, the drop in rankings is often precipitous, falling behind two-loss teams like Texas or Oklahoma, who benefit from the narrative of “quality losses.” This differential treatment suggests the committee rewards the mere potential or reputation of established programs more than the actual, tangible Strength of Record (SOR) earned by BYU. Utah’s case highlights the harsh grading curve applied to Big 12 losses. As a consistently tough, defensive-minded program, their two losses this season came against other highly-ranked Big 12 teams (BYU and Texas Tech). Yet, their ranking near No. 13 keeps them just outside the contention tier, a placement often occupied by two-loss teams from other conferences that have a perceived higher overall floor. The Utes' methodical style, coupled with the committee's tendency to devalue close wins or reward teams for "style points," means Utah is held to a higher standard of dominance to secure an elite ranking. Ultimately, both Utah and BYU are fighting not just opponents on the field, but a long-standing culture that rewards historical brand over current results and strength metrics within a less historically favored conference.

Utah and BYU deserve College Football Playoff spots over Notre Dame and Alabama.

The panel analyzes Texas dropping seven spots after three losses, TCU's Sonny Dykes facing a hot seat, and Kenny Dillingham's future at Arizona State despite calling it his "dream job." Key discussions include whether the Big 12 can land two playoff teams, how conference championship losses will be evaluated, and why SEC teams with identical records get home playoff games while Big 12 champions don't. Jeff Car, Nick Maravettes, Cody Stovall, Parker, and Darian join the heated debate about conference bias and playoff positioning.Tune in for insider analysis on coaching carousel speculation and the Big 12's uphill battle for playoff respect.

#wvu #big12 #mountaineers On November 18, 2025, four-star offensive lineman Kevin Brown, son of Mountaineer legend Tim Brown, committed to West Virginia live on The Pat McAfee Show. What should’ve been a feel-good legacy moment turned into the most savage public execution of two coaching eras in recent memory. At 17 years old, Kevin casually explained how Dana Holgorsen’s staff once kicked his family out of practice when he was six… and how Neal Brown’s offensive line coach refused to even watch his sophomore highlight tape. Then he put on the Old Gold & Blue, walked outside, and set a couch on fire. This is the story of a grudge 15 years in the making, the ultimate vindication of Rich Rodriguez’s return, and the day a teenager buried a decade of recruiting malpractice, live on national television. #wvu #big12 #mountaineers #collegefootball #pennstate #ohiostate #UNC #VaTech #WesVirginiaFootball #danaholgorsen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#LetsGoMountaineers #HailWVU #RichRodRevenge Kenny Dillingham is the guy who studied Rich Rod like as a High School coach, and he just admitted on tape: "WVU is getting better every single snap." He called Rich Rod an "innovator who stays ahead of the game", said the Mountaineers overachieve because of his passion, and warned ASU: "This is a team that's improving weekly." Translation? Rich Rod’s squad is PHYSICAL, HUNGRY, and COMING FOR BLOOD in Tempe in my opinion boys! Is Dillingham scared? Or just giving props before the beatdown?

#wvu #pennstate #ohiostate On this episode of Locked On WV, 4-star offensive tackle Kevin Brown (Penn State commit) wore West Virginia gloves during his high school game tonight and immediately texted: “West Virginia is the place right now, best facilities, and best coaches.” The legacy recruit (father Tim Brown, WVU/NFL) sent the message unprompted after the game, highlighting WVU’s facilities and staff as the best. A clear update in a key recruiting battle. #wvu #pennstate #ohiostate #big12 #mountaineers #westvirginia #collegefootball Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#wvu #colorado #mountaineers WVU true freshman QB Scotty Fox Jr. (Mentor HS, OH) is ALREADY better than Colorado's hyped 5-star frosh Juju Lewis (Carrollton HS, GA). We're breaking it down quick—film, stats, and Big 12 fit—to see if the take holds.Fox Jr. Quick Hit: 6-2, 205 lbs. Senior stats: 2,759 pass yds, 34 TDs, 64% comp + 317 rush yds, 7 TDs. Elite arm, pocket poise, and IQ. Ranked 55th QB in '25 class, but camp flashes (first TD rush vs. Robert Morris) scream starter upside under Rich Rod. WVU's only HS QB signee—local legend brewing.Lewis Scoop: 6-1, 190 lbs. Sophomore explosion: 3,094 yds, 48 TDs, 2 INTs. Rocket release, 4.6 speed, viral scrambles. Top-5 overall recruit, flipped to CU for Deion. Backup to Kaidon Salter now, but durability whispers on that frame in Big 12 trenches.Head-to-Head: Arm? Fox's touch wins deep. Wheels? Lewis faster, but Fox more vision. Decisions? Both sharp—Fox's poise fits WVU's RPO better. Hype vs. reality: Fox underrated, closing fast; Lewis raw edges exposed early?This sparks Mountaineer fire amid QB battles—could Fox steal reps while Lewis waits? Hit like if Team Fox, comment your take, sub for daily drops! #wvu #colorado #mountaineers #big12 #collegefootball #westvirginia #Colorado #deionsanders #coachprimes Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
