Even at the time, I said that Oregon should have been playing Miami. I'm not as hard on GB as a lot of folks are (but nonetheless felt he had to go) BUT I felt he whined a lot about playing in the Fiesta Bowl. Don't lose two games and it turns out you control a lot more of your destiny. Furthermore, it seems that coaches that express disatisfaction with their bowl selection inevitably lose the game.
Before the bowl games were played, I thought Oregon should have been playing Miami too. I do think our performance in the Fiesta had a lot to do with Barnett's whining about it. I don't think he had our team ready. Now, YES I KNOW Miami would have handed it to us like they did Nebraska. The huskers just didn't deserve to be there after not even going to the CCG let alone winning the confrence.
