NEW ORLEANS -- After multiple Washington players expressed feelings of disrespect this week ahead of Monday's College Football Playoff semifinal against Texas, Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer said he views those as "extra motivational factors."

DeBoer mostly downplayed the idea that the Huskies have been overlooked, but made it clear the team has discussed the perceived lack of external belief, even as their winning streak grew during the season.

"You also get to the point where you are 9-0, 10-0, and you're not the favorite team," DeBoer said. "Not that that's owed to you or you deserve to be that way.
