This quote comes from the article in the website below:
"The key for Oregon may be what the Fiesta Bowl does with its first selection. If it takes Penn State and thus allows Notre Dame to be taken by the Orange Bowl, there is seemingly no way the Fiesta Bowl comes back with another Big Ten team, in the form of Ohio State, and instead would choose Oregon. None of the possible at-large teams from the South such as Miami or Auburn or Georgia are seen as being of interest to the Fiesta Bowl.
Making it Penn State and Oregon, which played in the 1995 Rose Bowl, would thus match a pair of one-loss teams, the case Hansen and Moos say is important to Oregon's cause."
