I think if they won that game, they'd be in, and the University of Oregon would be home. A case can be made for ASU being in anyway, but as you state, there is a case for them to be home, too. We'll see what happens to that official's career going forward. He is very good, and it will be unfair, but I bet it trends quickly downward. It also feeds guys like Gottlieb.
