Oklahoma is In.

Now if you really want to confuse things, then let Missouri beat OU (like that is going to happen-especially the problems they had with Kansas!) in the Big 12 conference championship game. Then you could have a team who did not even win their own division or conference in line for a shot at the national title game (Texas).

I sympathize with Texas who had the exact same record as OU but beat OU in a face to face matchup. I do understand that it is the Big12 who decided to use the BCS rankings as a tie breaker but think they should have used head to head competition as a criteria before going to the BCS points- perhaps even the first tiebreaker. Most other places do that. If you lost to them, how can you claim to be better than they are?
