Stewart Mandel's mailbag:

Will Michael Bush and possibly Brian Brohm leaving Louisville to go pro just give more ammunition to the West Virginia strength-of-schedule critics next season?

-- Casey Fox, Williamstown, W.Va.

It certainly won't help, but I would hope at this point we're all sufficiently past the "Big East is a joke" era, particularly after the league went 5-0 in its bowl games. As of now, it's looking like Louisville won't necessarily be as daunting next season, but it's not like Rutgers or USF will be walkovers.That said, if I'm a West Virginia fan, I'd be a whole lot more concerned with my defense going into next season than I would any national-title posturing.

I just hope these thoughts turn into votes for the preseason poll.

I do not think we will be ranked in the preseason.  However, we will have our shot to move up in the first 3 weeks.

Stewart Mandel always seems to mention USF when speaking about the tough Big East teams.

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
