Well ... the AP Poll goes back to 1936 - so it's hard to look that far back...

The highest they've been under Rodriguez was #3 last year... and they were #3 back in 1988 (when they finished 5th) and 1993 (when they finished 7th)...

Per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia_Mountaineers_football:

West Virginia's highest coach or AP ranking has been #3, (following the 1988 regular season, Week 10 of 2006, and the 2007 preseason.)

Again, APPollArchive.com has AP poll data going back to 1936.

This was already posted a while back -- the highest any current Big East team has been ranked is #3. Pitt and Syracuse have both been ranked #1 (30 years ago or so) but that was before the Big East existed/had football. Obviously former Big East teams like Miami have been ranked #1.

Actually, they finished 5th in 1988... and were also #3 during the last two weeks of 1993.

Sometimes, kids, Wikipedia doesn't have everything....

;D ;)  ;D

During the week of 11/29/1988 they were ranked #3. Just checked with http://appollarchive.com/football/ap/seasons.cfm?appollid=650 They dropped to #5 in the rankings after losing their final game of the season. Wikipedia is good to us lazy folk looking for a quick answer ;)

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
