Following its dominant victory over BYU, the West Virginia football team (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) received votes in both the AP and USA Today Coaches Top 25 polls on Sunday.
The Mountaineers received three votes from the Associated Press voters. In order by number of votes, WVU checks in at No. 35 in the poll. This is the first time WVU has received at least one vote in the AP Poll since Week 8.
With one vote from the coaches, West Virginia is essentially ranked 39th in the country in that ranking system.

The Sooners (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) have slipped to No. 17 in the latest AP Top 25 after back-to-back losses. Kickoff between WVU and OU is set for 7 p.m. ET, and the game will be televised nationally on Fox.
