"Declined" is too definitive.
From the article below:
(For what it’s worth: It’s been reported in the past that UW turned down an invitation to face BYU in the Holiday Bowl, though it’s unclear if a formal invitation was extended. A Holiday Bowl spokesperson told The Athletic that UW was one of many teams suggested as an opponent for the WAC champion Cougars, but that the Huskies made it clear they preferred an Orange Bowl bid and thus never were formally invited.)
My thinking is that if Washington did in fact not pursue the game with BYU, that they must've figured the voters would go their way regardless, so why throw away an Orange Bowl invitation in favor of the lowly Holiday Bowl?
