I do wonder what the headlines read had we accepted the UW game, wasted money, only to have UW exercise the Thursday clause and back out.

Maybe worth one spot and we are 12 or 13?

We did practice an extra day. But it didn't matter. Something is fishy here.

Do you think our #14 ranking is punishment for not accepting the UW game?

You have no evidence that we rejected the offer. Just anonymous tweets

So there's nothing to reject if somebody's not going to guarantee it.
