Google may run a commercial during tomorrow’s Super Bowl, according to a mysterious Tweet from CEO Eric Schmidt and further details in a blog post from search blogger, author and entrepreneur John Battelle.

Schmidt’s Tweet reads: Can’t wait to watch the Superbowl tomorrow. Be sure to watch the ads in the 3rd quarter (someone said “Hell has indeed frozen over.”)

While the most logical product to push on Super Bowl fans would be Google’s Nexus One phone – perhaps improving its poor sales numbers – Battelle says the ad will be a brand ad for Google itself. In fact, his source claims the ad will be “Parisian Love” (below), a French-themed commercial about getting the most out of Google. We’d think that an unlikely choice for the most all-American of sporting events, would it not?

There’s reason for skepticism, too: USAToday’s list of Super Bowl advertisers does not include Google. Meanwhile, Forbes says most of the Super Bowl advertisers are working closely with Google to promote the ads on YouTube for voting upon after they air.

Is this a Google Super Bowl ad, or something else? We’ll find out tomorrow.
