BYU 10th straight bowl game while Memphis one player with bowl experience: Alabama transfer fifth-year senior Keiwone Malone. The Memphis admitted many of their players have never seen an ocean before. BYU has 80 percent of their players have been on missions all over the world so distraction of Miami Beach not big worry.

Clemson admitted a few years ago they got completely distracted playing in Miami Beach. Sorry, hard to imagine the bowl virgins playing in the highly distracting party town right before Christmas will be focused. BYU with married older players who have experienced bowls and travel will not be. BYU has played the tougher schedule. According to Massey theirs is 73rd strongest in the nation compared to 89th for Memphis.

This is a big so-called intangibles game. Go with BYU.
