West Virginia Drops From Top 10, Sees Playoff Hopes Fade in New AP Poll
Conference championship games are fast approaching as the regular season starts to wind down.
There were a fair share of teams that took on weaker competition on Saturday as they prep for the final game before the postseason.
In the Big 12, a pair of ranked teams suffered defeats as No. 15 Texas knocked off No. 16 Iowa State and Oklahoma State upset No. 9 West Virginia. The Longhorns and Mountaineers are now tied at 6-2 in the conference. One will likely finish second in the standings and face Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game.
Boston College was upset by Florida State a year after picking up a historic win against the Seminoles. And Syracuse was dominated by Notre Dame in a contest featuring two teams in the top 12.
