    Suprisingly the B12 coaches have voted to keep the current tie breaker system. So if the same situation arises next year we'll at least know the coaches are OK iwth the outcome. Fans maybe not so much.

    Asinine....

    If Texas would have had the chance to play in the Big 12 title game no question they would have surpassed the Sooners in the final BCS standings with a win over Missouri. But you have to credit OU for the way in which they manhandled every opponent after the Texas loss....becoming the highest scoring team in NCAA history in the process.

    I guess arguments could be had either way but I think they should have changed the tiebreaker rules making head-to-head carry more weight.
