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?
