Huh Oklahoma Tries To Drop WVU As Bowl Opponent
This comes from wsaz.com

REPORT: Oklahoma Tries to Drop WVU as Bowl Opponent

Oklahoma apparently doesn't feel the Mountaineers are a good enough test in this year's Fiesta Bowl. According to a report from SI.com, Oklahoma was trying to set up a matchup with Virginia Tech.

The move would have utilized a never-used-before clause in the BCS bylaws which allows commissioners to switch up the bowl matchups after the selection process is over.

SI.com's report says late Monday night OU athletic director Joseph Castiglione contacted Fiesta Bowl officials about the possibility of using that clause to get OU matched up against the highest-ranked team available.

The report says the Sooners were trying to arrange a Orange Bowl matchup with the #3 ranked Hokies.

The request has been denied by BCS officials, and the Sooners are set to play the Mountaineers January 2 at 7:30.

Park the old car that I love the best
Inspections due and it won't pass the test
Funny how I have to put it to rest
And someday I will join it.

Eh, I think I'd actually look forward to an Oklahoma/VT matchup moreso than a Oklahoma/WVU matchup, which is nothing against WVU. But I think the Oklahoma/VT is more intriguing.

But what will be great is when WVU kicks there ass. I have never understood BCS ranking and Bowl matchups. Wouldn't #1 go against #2 and #3 go against #4, and so forth? Why can't it be that simple?

I'll laugh if OU loses now.. they just put more pressure on themselves then they needed.. and remember last year against Boise? It's not exactly the hottest program in the nation in recent years.

Because the bowls have contracts with different conferences, and what the bowls are based off of, tradition. Rose Bowl, Big Ten vs. Pac-10, best example.

Oklahoma will still kill West Virginia in this game. Doesn't matter how motivated the West Virginia is going to be now.

This is a very evenly matched game.

If there is a blowout, I see it going in favor of WVU.
