A pair of Big 12 rivals square off both in need of a statement win as Oklahoma visits West Virginia in college football's Week 11 action on Saturday.

West Virginia comes in just 1-5 in Big 12 games this season, and having lost three straight since a big win over Baylor, dropping games against Texas Tech, TCU, and most recently Iowa State.

Oklahoma had won two straight games since a 49-0 loss Texas, including over a then-ranked Kansas, but lost a 3-point decision at home to Baylor last week, moving to 5-4 on the year and 2-4 in conference.

What do the experts think of this matchup? Let's see how the College Football Power Index computer prediction model projects the game.
