I wouldn't say they are being punished. I also wouldn't say that they are getting the short end of the stick. If they can completely dominate their schedule and not lose a game, maybe they will warrant a national championship spot. That is what happened in the past, I mean look at USC, the Pac-10 isn't all that great but they kicked the shit out of most opponents, so it was clear why they were getting the votes.
My reasoning for bringing up the LSU schedule is because I just don't think that WVU would win that many games. If they can't win games in a different conference, obviously they aren't national championship caliber. Of course that is completely my opinion, and it is still early in the season. My opinion is just that if every team was on the same playing field, meaning the rankings were not based on if LSU losing to Auburn type games, WVU wouldn't be as high as they are.
To clarify that, I mean LSU loses to Auburn, but does that mean that LSU is worse than they were last week? Texas could still be the No. 2 team in the nation, but they lost to Ohio State and are now ninth or something. That's just what I mean when I say the rankings are based too much on wins than objectivity.
