Switzer wants bowl, championship
United Press International
NORMAN, Okla. Which post-season bowl that Oklahoma plays in does not really matter to football head coach Barry Switzer, as long as it is one that leads to a national championship.
"All I want is to play in a bowl against a team in order to us have a chance at the national championship. So we need to do that."
The Big Eight Conference champion automatically goes to the Orange Bowl, and Switzer said the Fiesta Bowl again appears as the top choice for the Oklahoma-Nebraska loser.
"I talked with the people from the Fiesta Bowl, and they are very interested in us," Swiss said. "Last year they took a 9-2 Nebraska. I asked them if they would take a 9-2 Oklahoma, and they said definitely."
Switzer added, however, there was speculation the Fiesta Bowl had proposed an additional $2 million in order to get No. 1 Miami and No. 3 Penn State, both independents, matched in a title game.
"I don't know if the NCAA has rules against such a thing like that, but if the report is true, it would be hard for the two schools to turn down money like that and a huge national television audience," Switzer said.
"We would have to play very poorly to lose," he said.
The fourth-ranked Sooners do have some games to win before they begin thinking about the bowl picture, but Switzer does not see this week's nationally televised game at Kansas as a test for his team.
"Kansas is really struggling right now. They are playing a lot of young people. Two years ago when they beat us, they were good; not only did they have the Big Eight's best passer in Mike Norseth, but they also had a good strong linebackers and good team speed.
"We are a lot better team right now than we were two years ago. Kansas is really demoralized. If you look at their schedule and see who they have beaten and who they have lost to, you could understand how they feel."
