Unfortunately, I think that suspicision will be confirmed.  Jerry Palm 
(the collegeBCS guy) had us pegged for the Independence Bowl as of last 
Tuesday - http://www.collegebcs.com/cy/bowl.html.  That seems more accurate.

Of course, he doesn't have the Sooners listed at all...I'm sure that 
will change in the next revision.
