Controversy is brewing in the Big12. If Oklahoma wins this weekend vs Oklahoma State, they could jump Texas in the BCS. That would send Oklahoma, who lost to Texas, onto the Big12 Championship and National Championship.

If the regular season is really a playoff...as some ESPN analysts like to say, then the Texas head to head win over Oklahoma should put Texas in the Big 12 and National Championship, correct?


1. Alabama
(last poll: 1)

Bama is in the SEC Championship game. A shot at the National Championship is in reach.


2. Texas
(last poll: 3 )

Texas is the highest ranked 1 loss team. They will beat Texas A&M this weekend. They will drop behind Oklahoma in the BCS, who they beat...and get shut out of everything. Just watch.


3. Oklahoma
(last poll: 4 )

Will Oklahoma still get to go to the Big 12 Championship despite having the same record as Texas...and losing to Texas? If they have a three way tie...the highest BCS ranked team goes. So much for the head to head loss vs Texas.


4. Florida
(last poll: 5 )

With a win over FSU and Bama, Florida moves into the drivers seat for a second BCS national championship in 3 years. Whoops...sorry, I just barfed on my keyboard.


5. Utah
(last poll: 6 )

The rival game against BYU in will determine if Utah gets a BCS bowl bid.

6. Texas Tech
(last poll: 2 )

FAIL.


7. Southern California
(last poll: 7 )

4 one loss teams ahead of USC at this point. The loss to Oregon State is the worse of any BCS conference school one-loss team...and SoCal does not play a conference championship game to help make up for it. Yet, Pete Carroll is still confused. Note to SoCal. Add two teams to the Pac-10 and play a conference championship game instead of taking 3 bye weeks while the big boys like Bama and Florida put it all on the line one more time.


8. Boise State
(last poll: 8 )

Undefeated and with the only challenge left being Fresno State at home. Boise has proven themselves as a team that can compete in the BCS with a win over Oklahoma a few years back, yet, a two loss Ohio State team will get the BCS bowl invite over them.

I would be pretty upset if I was a Boise Bronco.

9. Penn State
(last poll: 9 )

Hint to big 10...play a championship game and Penn State may have been able to get back into the race after one loss.


10. Georgia
(last poll: 10)

Can the Dawgs make it 8 in a row over the nerds?


11. Ohio State
(last poll: 11)

Jesse "short tie" Palmer and ESPN are pimping Ohio State for an at large BCS spot vs the SEC #2. Personally, I hope the Dawgs get them in the Citrus...which will happen if the Oregon State Beavers can beat the Oregon Ducks.
