MORGANTOWN -- West Virginia fans sit in stunned silence after the number 2 ranked Mountaineers lost to their bitter rivals, the Pitt Panthers 13 to 9. The loss effectively eliminated WVU from the BCS championship game. The Mountaineers had been favored by as much as 137 points and were considering playing their cheerleaders against the hapless Panthers. Mountaineers' coach Rich Rodriguez tried to find a silver lining for his team in what was obviously a crushing defeat, saying, "at least we probably saved Dave Wannstedt's job."
