MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- The curse of No. 2 claimed another victim.
West Virginia is out of the national title race. Ohio State is in.
In a season defined by upsets, Pittsburgh came up with an enormous one, beating the second-ranked Mountaineers 13-9 Saturday night to throw another curveball at the BCS.
A win away from playing for the national championship, the Mountaineers were expected to roll over rival Pittsburgh (5-7) on their way to New Orleans for the Bowl Championship Series title game.

Terps suck too.
The BCS has to factor conference champions. Don't win your conference, don't deserve a shot at the title game.

He says maybe a 16 team, worth a read.
You know what they say about making “assumptions”. I’m a twenty year veteran, retired army officer, who ended up employed in Maryland following retirement. Grew up in Connecticut and went to a very small college with no football program. Sorry, no Maryland Terps tie here...can’t stand any Maryland sports teams. Nice try though haystacks.
Would somebody please tell me who Ohio State beat this year? Seriously, what big game did they win this year? You’ll reward a non-conference schedule that includes Kent State, Youngstown State and Akron with a berth in the national title game? Unbelievable.
No playoff needed, only wanted. Me? I love the pi****g and moaning by people. I think it is healthier for the game.
LOL - Sort of like your ASSumption that I am in a bar and wearing dentures. You're the one who made that rather strange flame out of left field, not me. I do have a bridge, if that counts. (BTW, I was enlisted, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm not rocked over with awe when you state you were an officer.) Not sure why you have a problem with me, but it's certainly not my problem, nor do I care. If my enthusiasm for what could have been a great WV season upsets you, don't read it!
I really hope they don't end up going to artificial turf.
pete carrol, les miles, and Marc richt all called into ESPN, pleading their cases
I'll be very interested to see what the new rankings will be this week. One of my buddies who is a die hard Pitt fan just sent me a text msg razz :(
Like that wasn't expected.
How many times does Oklahoma have to spank them in one season?
With the #2 jink operating in seven games this wild season, I wouldn’t be surprised if the BCS ranks Ohio State #2, just for psycological reasons.
