Fiesta Bowl – Boise State (12-0) vs. Oklahoma (11-2)
Monday, 8:30 pm Eastern
FOX
Opening Line: Oklahoma – 8.5

Boise State is just the second team from a non-Bowl Championship Series conference to claim a berth in one of the big bowl games. Utah was the other team from a non-BCS conference to play in a BCS bowl back in 2004. But either way, early money at SBG Global is showing the gambling public still likes Oklahoma minus the points.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops knows how good Boise State is. "It will not be hard for us to focus in on this," Stoops said. "I look at people's track records. I look at what people have done over a great period of time, and Boise State has been excellent." Boise State was led by first-year coach Chris Peterson. "We know we've got to go out and compete well and show well, or people will be saying, 'Yeah, they shouldn't have been there anyways,"' said Petersen. "It's a great challenge."

Boise State has the best record of any Division I-A team since 1999 at 85-16. Boise State averaged 39.4 points and 424.2 yards per game this season. Ian Johnson was the fourth ranked running back in the nation and quarterback Jared Zabransky ranked 8th in passing rating in the nation.

The Sooners are playing their fifth BCS game in the last seven years under Stoops. Oklahoma's five BCS bowl appearances are second only to Florida State's six, and its 86-18 overall record since 1999 is second to Boise State's mark. The Sooners received good news when running back Adrian Peterson was cleared to play for this game. He has not played since suffering an injury Oct. 14 against Iowa State. He has 3,968 yards and 39 touchdowns in 30 career games. This is Oklahoma's third appearance in the Fiesta Bowl and first since a 32-21 loss in 1983 to Arizona State.

Oklahoma is a 7.5 point favorite with a total of 50.5 at SBG Global.
