Here's something to get OU fans in the holiday spirit -- the Fiesta Bowl prediction of ESPN.com columnist Pat Forde:
"The Sooners are playing better than anybody right now... This figured to be a tough assignment for the Mountaineers before they lost their coach. Already disconsolate over blowing a shot at the National Championship Game, their small, speed-based backs are facing a physical defense that figures to pound Pat White & Co."
Forde's pick: OU 42, West Virginia 17
Oh, and here's a little stocking stuffer, a broadside to the bow of the Goodship Longhorn:
"With Vince Young, Mack Brown is a BCS-level coach. Without Vince Young, Mack Brown is a Holiday Bowl-level coach."
Forde's Holiday pick: Arizona State 27, Texas 23.
