We should want WVU to win every game leading up to 12/1.

Only if we do the same.  We need to be at least tied with them in conference for that game to really matter.

Or only 1 lose then we get the tiebreaker on head to head (if we win). The nightmare scenario for the BE is that Pitt Beats USF, WV beats Pitt, and USF beats WV. All three teams win all other conference games. You would then have 3 teams that are 6 - 1 in conference. Based on early performance this is a very realistic possibility.

And all finish 11-1. That would be beautiful.
