According to Kevin Feige you've already lost that bet.

His quote, more specifically, was that "they are from the comics, but their identity is not impactful." This statement was made in conjunction with denying that they are Kree or Skrulls.

Which basically tells us that they're probably some race that Marvel dug out of the deep vaults just for the movie. Which is almost what you said, just with the caveat that they did appear in the comics at least once. Basically they're here to be an enemy just for one movie and not likely to play a much bigger role in the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe the way Kree or Skrulls might.

I'm betting it's some race that will have the comic-geeks combing the back-issues looking for. It won't be one of the "major" alien races at all. Or maybe they'll just call them the Chitauri and call it a day.
