You have another choice you're not looking at.

If I were you, I'd take the OML job, and then if Sunnyvale hired me, I'd take that too, even if only being in the OML job for two weeks. That way, I'm not left with nothing and I get the best if it's offered.

"But I can't do that to {insert name of colleague at deAnza)." you say? Yes, you can. This is business, and you must make a business decision without letting personal relationships cloud your judgement.

Yes, it's an assholic and bitchy thing to do, but unfortunately that is the way the current financial systems of the world work. You can't leave yourself without a job at all or settle for less than you could simply because you are friends with someone who might hire you for one of the possible choices.
