They tried to get a Top 5 matchup but too many folks wanted that big bowl deal, that includes Oklahoma.
FWIW bowl Tie ins don’t mean a team has to accept a deal, only that the conference has to provide a worthy team. Hell Bama played ND in the Orange bowl in 1974 instead of the Sugar bowl.

Dude, I’m not replying any more after this.
Your link was a recap of the game & did not mention OU refusing to play BYU. It did mentioned that OU coach Switzer lobbied that that the winner of OU/Wash be considered the default champion. He did do that-at the prompting of Orange Bowl to get better ratings. Switzer discussed all of this in his book Bootleggers Boy & even alluded to having a waste water treatment plant named in his honor in Utah.
