Just a thought on this game and take it however you want it.
In current playoff system the top ranked school from a non 5 conference gets a major bowl. For the 1st time this season the committee ranked all of the non 5 schools in contention (Boise St, Colorado St, Marshall).
Boise State is ranked ahead of Marshall which gives them virtually no chance at a major bowl.
Does this motivate Marshall to want to put one on someone or are they like most college kids and are disappointed and unfocused?
