1). Because there isn’t more than 19 G5 teams with more FF Composite points than Marshall.
2). Because there are 40 G5 teams with less FFC points than Marshall.
3). Methodology: FF Composite Points...
(Weight = X2) for inverse top 65 of: ESPN FPI + Massey Ratings + Sagarin + CBS 130
+
(Weight = X3) for inverse 50 of: Coaches Poll, including others receiving votes
+
(Weight = X4) for inverse 50 of: AP Poll, incl ORV
+
Bonus of 130 points for being undefeated
+
Bonus of (Weighted X2) inverse 100 of beating top100 P5 (per Massey Ratings) at home
+
Bonus of (Weighted X4) inverse 100 of beating top 100 P5 on the road

Minus Sagarin ranking of lost to FCS

...so, 4)., since Marshall has been, and is only getting, top 65 points from the computers, the computers didn’t see Marshall’s getting rolled up as bad as the ups and downs of the 129 other FBS teams (250+ D1 teams per Sagarin). Purely by coincidence, they still have the same exact points as last week.
