Not many gave it a second thought when Texas A&M entered the season ranked No. 6 in the preseason AP Top 25.

This is approaching must-win territory for both of these teams. Oklahoma (5-4, 2-4) is one win away from bowl eligibility, which is not a guarantee with three games left on the schedule. This is probably their likeliest path to getting six wins, but no game in Morgantown should be taken for granted. For West Virginia (3-6, 1-5), they would have to…
