Quote:"We looked at one-loss Washington, that loss coming against a top-10 opponent (USC), compared to a two-loss Penn State team," said Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt, who chairs the selection committee. "One loss, (Penn State was) not competitive in that particular game (49-10 loss to Michigan), the other loss, to an 8-4 team (Pitt). Obviously, strength of scheduled favored Penn State. Had Washington had a stronger strength of schedule, I don't think the conversation would have been as difficult."
