As I said earlier, I think we were really competing with Bama for the spot.

They needed another west coast team for travel and TV so Oregon was going to get that slot. There’s enough between the three teams that they had enough cover to justify any decision they made…so they went with one that helped the whole the most and made things easier for them.
