The Oklahoman’s staff predictions for Oklahoma’s bowl destination:
Berry Tramel: Holiday Bowl vs. Oregon
The rivalry rides again!
John Rohde: Cotton Bowl vs. LSU
Despite losing to
Texas, look for OU to still make a return trip to
Jerry World this season. Alas, it will be for an appearance in the Cotton Bowl, which has a new home. Just for giggles, let’s have the
Sooners facing
LSU and coach
Les Miles. Anyone sick of "Tiger Bait" yet?
Jenni Carlson: Alamo Bowl vs. Iowa
It might be hard to get the Sooner Nation fired up about a non-
BCS bowl, but at least there would be some fun storylines with
Bob Stoops facing his alma mater.
John Helsley: Alamo Bowl vs. Michigan State
The Sooners haven’t been bowling in
San Antonio, yet, and they’d be No. 1 on the watch list.
Landry Jones vs.
Keith Nichol in a battle of former OU backups.
David Ubben: Cotton Bowl vs. LSU
The Cotton Bowl knows OU fans will travel. With the way the North is shaping up, it looks like all OU will have to compete with is OSU.

Ken, those are all losable, but that doesnt mean they will all be lost. I think we all agree they will lose at least one more. Two is probably about right, but they will come out with a win in some of those.
Why do you negative Nancy's ignore the fact that these teams we will play arent great either? Nebraska has no offense, that game could end 10-7. Kansas has no defense. Tech looks pretty good so we will see. OSU is good but has problems in Norman.
The sky is not falling.
Give me a break!!
They won't play even football.
It would just be another loss anyway.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stoop's embarrass us, or go to a minor bowl with a chance to win. The only people not
fired up for a minor bowl is the press. They go to the Bowls all expense's paid, they really
don't care one way or the other if OU wins or loss's, they got a free trip. They need to be
matched with the fourth or fifth place team in the SEC, Pac-10, Big-10, ACC. Any
team above 4th in those conference's will be a loss for the Sooner's. Right now Bowl games
are only a pipe-dream for Stoop's and they'll be lucky to finish in the top-20. Remember
that is an extremely poorly coached team and anything can happen for the worse.
with SEC teams, and only has a less than stellar performance against the PAC-10 top 3. OU needs to draw a Big-10 team. The Diamond-Emerald Walnut Bowl or the Mienke Car Care
Bowl would probably be more fitting.
At this point I just hope this OU team improves through the rest of the season, especially on the line and at receiver. Then maybe get a nice winable bowl game.
Anywhere but Shreveport! I actually wouldnt mind the Alamo Bowl. New scenery, San Antonio is a fun town, and I dont think a lot of the Big 10 in general. Not that the Big 12 is much to talk about either.
