West Virginia Mountaineers Face Baylor in Key Matchup

West Virginia's football team recently secured a victory over Cincinnati and now prepares to host Baylor, with both teams aiming to improve their standings in the Big 12. The Mountaineers, ranked No. 51 in ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI), are currently tied for third place in the conference and need to win out to remain in contention for the championship game. Baylor, coming off a three-game winning streak, has a slightly lower FPI of 46, and the matchup shows West Virginia with a 52.9% chance of winning. Meanwhile, Kentucky is facing a challenging season, having lost four straight games, but is heavily favored (99% probability) to win against the struggling 1-9 Murray State team. Houston, despite recent successes, is predicted to struggle against Arizona, with an FPI indicating only a 42.7% chance of victory. The Cougars need two more wins to become bowl eligible, but the FPI forecasts a difficult path ahead, suggesting they may not win again this season.
