Oregon head coach Dan Lanning wasn't interested in blaming his team's draw in the College Football Playoff bracket or an extended layoff after a bye for the Ducks' 41-21 loss to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl on Wednesday.
"That's an excuse," Lanning said, per Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde.
Oregon suffered its first defeat of the season and was eliminated from the CFP.
The Ducks' 13-0 start gave them the No. 1 seed in the CFP to go along with a first-round bye.
