OWH: Interviews with Big 12 Conference and bowl officials Saturday indicated again that Nebraska (7-4) was headed for the Alamo Bowl and Oklahoma for the Holiday Bowl. But uncertainties with the final Bowl Championship Series field kept anything from becoming official.

Persons close to the situation told The World-Herald that the Alamo Bowl still wanted an NU-Iowa matchup, but television people were pushing an NU-Michigan meeting.

Nebraska and Michigan, two of college football’s all-time winningest programs, haven’t played since the Wolverines beat the Huskers 27-23 in the Fiesta Bowl after the 1985 season. NU and Iowa have played 41 regular-season games but never in a bowl.

ESPN will televise the final bowl matchups tonight at 5:00 pm Central.
