I've seen that reported two different ways, one if the Huskers are
one of two Big XII schools in a BCS bowl and one if there are two
Big XII schools in a BCS bowl, even if the second one isn't Nebraska.

BTW, Colorado also negotiated for an early exit today, so they will
be able to join the Pac 12 in 2011, and the remaining 10 schools in the 
Big XII will play a round-robin schedule in 2011.  (That could cause a 
few non-conference games to get cancelled in 2011.)  There's also some 
talk of having the final week of conference games on the now-vacated 
weekend that the Big XII Championship would have been held.
