Last week, our simulation of West Virginia and Pitt on College Football 26 was dang near spot on. The game predicted the Mountaineers to win 36-34 in double overtime, and as you know, they would go on to win in real life, 31-24 in overtime.
The week before, the simulation missed, predicting a 28-23 win over Ohio, but that was without knowledge that running back Jahiem White and wide receiver would exit the game with injuries.
