After beginning play as an independent team in 1891, the Mountaineers joined the College Division in 1937. They played five years, from 1973 to 1978, in Division One, before switching to Division One-A in 1978.Recent Seasons
Under coach Rich Rodriguez, the Mountaineers were Big East Champions in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. In 2006, the Mountaineers reached the Sugar Bowl, where they defeated the heavily favored Georgia Bulldogs. Following a 10-2 record during the 2006 season, the Mountaineers played in the Gator Bowl, where they defeated the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.In 2008, the Mountaineers entered bowl season ranked ninth and were placed in the Fiesta Bowl against the fourth ranked Oklahoma Sooners.
