Marshall has ZERO chance. 3,4,5 loss conference champs would be in before them.

I would never say zero. Especially up against a 4 or 5 loss conference champ.

But yeah, they'll need a 3 loss conference champ vying for that 4th spot IMO.

Based on anti-trust issues alone the committee needs to be careful omitting mid-majors. That's why they started letting mid-majors into the BCS. The mid-majors threatened law suits.

They've got their bases covered against Marshall when comparing to 1 or 2 loss P-5's + ND. 3 losses possibly, but 4 or 5 loss teams, they'd get sued.

They do need to absolutely dominate the rest of there games. If there is enough 2 losses teams the committee will feel real pressure to put them if they dominate.

They'll feel pressure for sure, but I think they've got their bases covered w/ two loss teams.

Not beating one P-5 at all makes Marshall and the mid-major's case pretty weak.

Not if they are dominant enough.

Says the 12 year old who thinks that any mid major had a legit shot.


:pound:

Dude, you thought Notre Dame was a mid-major. Everybody in this thread is now dumber for having read that nonsense and it showed just how clueless you are about CFB in general.

Go back to the kiddy-pool and come back when you've learned the basics.

I asked if they were considered one considering their lack of conference affiliation and the definition of a mid major.

You went asshole mode from that point on, but thats who you are, and everyone knows it.

And they absolutely have been.

Don't get me wrong. I think Marshall could beat the majority of mid-range P-5's right now. The problem is they won't have a chance to prove that like BYU did.

Don't be an uninformed dumbass or a troll and you don't have to worry about R_A going into asshole mode.

Pretty simple really.

I'm not worried about you at all. I feel sorry for you.
