Do you people realize that if Tech beats Baylor and OU loses to OSU, you finish 2nd in the South division?
If both of those two things happen you get no Big 12 title game and no BCS births is also a possibility.
How could this happen, simple you guys lost the head to head game against Tech. That is the first tie breaker.
It’s funny to think you need to root for OU this Saturday to even get a chance

Simple, you lost the head to head game with Texas.

If OU loses
what exactly will prevent us from NOT remaining as #2 in the BCS? USC? A possible 1 loss Bama? Tech is not going to pass us, and I think Mizzou would beat them since it’s a true road game for Tech.
I am rooting for OU to lose. That will be our best chance if you ask me.

And do you realize
that Texas is #2 in the nation and that a Tech win with OU losing to OSU or Mizzou knocks you out of a BCS bowl bid?

A big conference can only send two teams to the BCS
If OU goes down to Ok State or Missouri then Texas and the winner of Tech and Missouri would go. As far as I know the only way that OU goes is if they win out or they beat OSU, Baylor beats Tech and then Texas goes to KC and loses to Mizzou.

That makes no sense.
Scenario 1: OU loses to OSU, Tech beats BU. If this happens, a win over Mizzou sends Tech to the MNC or Fiesta, with UT taking the other spot. A loss to Mizzou sends Mizzou to the Fiesta and UT to the MNC. Two losses for both Tech and OU would eliminate both teams from BCS consideration.
Scenario 2: OU beats OSU, Tech beats BU. If this happens, the 3-way tiebreaker is in play, likely sending OU to KC. If OU wins, OU will be in Miami with UT in the Fiesta. If OU loses, they will have 2 losses, eliminating them from BCS contention, and UT will still be ahead of Tech, sending them to the MNC, most likely, with Mizzou headed to the Fiesta as conference champion.
Scenario 3: OU loses to OSU, Tech loses to BU. If this happens, both UT plays Mizzou, with a win sending the Horns to Miami. A loss eliminates them from BCS contention more than likely, but they could also still be selected to the Fiesta/Sugar/Orange as an at-large team despite the loss, or it would be OU that is selected. No team from the Big XII goes to Miami.
Scenario 4: OU beats OSU, Tech loses to BU. If this happens, the UT goes to KC to play Mizzou as a result of the head-to-head tiebreaker over OU, meaning they either end up in the MNC or the Cotton Bowl. OU would go to the Fiesta with a UT win over Mizzou, or the MNC with a UT loss to Mizzou. This is the option that we as UT fans should root for.
Any way you spin it, UT is headed to either the Fiesta or the MNC, unless it gets to play Mizzou and loses.

Even Beyond 45-35
Beyond the obvious 45-35 victory over the Sooners, look at the schedule each has played since the Horns win at the Cotton Bowl.
UT played #1 OU, #11 MO,#6 OKS, #7 TT (the one loss), Baylor & Aggies. The victory over the Aggies demonstrated dominance in nearly every aspect of he game and in my opinion, should elevate Colt to the top of the Heisman list. Even in the loss to Tech, he brought the Horns from behind to take the late lead.
OU olayes #5 UT (loss), #16 Kansas, K State, Neb, A&M and #12 OK State.
UT playing four highly ranked teams in a row, and losing on last second play in the 4th game would seem to be a much tougher schedule than OU. Commentators saying OU is on a big upswing should also say they are playing less quality teams than UT. UT has played 3 top 10 teams in the 6 week period, OU only 1.
But I think OK State just may beat OU…the question is will Texas lose its #2 ranking as a result of the OU loss? If not, they get to avoid having to beat MO twice in the same season, by passing the conference championship and head to the BCS title came.

Losing ground
I honestly don’t think it happens to Texas if OU loses to Ok State. Let’s say for argument all of the top teams win out except for OU which stumbles to the cowboys. You’re left with the SEC champ at #1, Texas at #2, 3 through 5 are most likely USC, SEC championship loser and Utah and then OU at #6 unless it’s a close loss then they probably place ahead of Utah. I highly doubt we get a Florida/Bama rematch and USC has a weak schedule and has made up very little ground in the past few weeks so even if Oregon State loses I still think that a Texas with a very strong schedule but without the Big XII title will get the nod over a USC with the Pac-10 title but also with a weak schedule..

USC is NOT Pac 10 Champ
Barring an upset, Oregon State will be Pac 10 champions

Just for the record...
You’re leaving out an entire week of matchups when comparing the schedules.
UT played KU in between the BU and A&M games.
OU played #2 TTU in between A&M and #12 OSU.
So UT had 3 top-10 teams to play, but OU had 2, not just 1.
I wish it was just 1, so as to help our case, but it just isn’t. =(
