The exclusion of the Texas Longhorns from the Big 12 Conference footballchampionship is one major cluster fuck. Any tiebreaking system that permits OUTSIDE non-conference forces (such as the BCS standings) to determine a champion is WRONG! In truth, Texas and OU should play one more time for the conference title. Missouri deserves squat, especially after losing to Kansas last Saturday ... at home!
Truthfully, realignment of the Big 12 should be a consideration. There are too many powerful teams in one division (UT, OU, TT, OSU - sorry A&M not yet there; got passed this season by a resurging Baylor) while the North has too many weak sisters (ISU, CU, Nebraska). Putting Oklahoma and Oklahoma State into the North would establish a balance of power.
Here is what every UT fan should openly root to happen:1) Missouri to stun OU in the Big 12 title game (by the way, all these extra affairs should be abolished - they are only played for mo' money and circumvent any argument AGAINST a national playoff system).
2) For UCLA to stun crosstown rival Southern Cal and put undeserving Oregon State into the BCS.
That will leave Penn State or Texas (higher ranked in the BCS) to haggle about playing the winner of Florida-Alabama for the national title. The nod will go to Texas over Penn State based on schedule.
Uh, it COULD happen, right? That way Texas, who will not win its "conference" title can become a national champion. It has taken place once before - just ask Nebraska.
