Narrative:

On push back in sfo we received clearance to push from ramp control. Our ramp agents started pushing us all the way onto an active taxiway. We questioned the ramp agent; who was hard to hear; the reason for pushing us on the taxiway and he advised us it was because of an aircraft trying to come in the alley. We had no clearance to push on the active taxiway. We switched to ground and apologized for the push. No conflict with another aircraft except company airplane had to wait for a minute.
