If OU loses to OSU, UT loses to A&M, and Tech loses to Baylor, who goes to the Big XII Championship game?

The University of Hell Ski Team.

I think this would create a four-way tie with OSU in the mix. In head-to-head among the four, UT and Tech would each be 2-1 and OU and OSU would be 1-2. Then Tech would win the head-to-head with UT.

Well, if nobody really wants to play (or maybe nobody else is around), I'll give the answer, but I'll spoilerize it:

In that snowball in hell scenario, Texas TEch would be the representative from the South Division. In record against each other, OU & OSU would both be 1-2, while Tech and UT would be 2-1. So, you go to head-to-head between Tech and UT.

So, Tech would get to go despite suffering two humiliating losses to end the regular season.

The loss to OU was humiliating because of the margin, and despite my love for the Bears, a loss at home to Baylor would be extremely pathetic.

Ding, Ding, Ding

I was typing my post while you posted this.

I got that in just in time, didn't I?

A bunch of non-believers because the Rapture would have happened first.

That's easy. Anyone who can obtain a ticket. --Bob

But in the more likely event that they all win, don't they go by BCS standings? That would not be the most accurate tiebreaker in that nonconference play would be involved, but I guess the conference is looking at the bigger picture and trying to get one of its teams into the national championship game.

BCS Standings are the 5th tiebreaker, but they would get to it if OU, Tech, and UT all win.

There's no way to know for sure, but it looks like if OU wins at OSU, they will sneak by Texas. That will put them in the Big XII Championship against Missouri.

The way it's shaping up, if Missouri pulls off the upset, the team that doesn't make it to the Conference Championship game (of OU and UT) would likely make it to the BCS Championship game (much to the consternation of USC fans).

Well, if Auburn beats Alabama, then OK loses to OK St, then about 5 other things happen, Penn State plays for the nation title.

Yeah, I know, not what you asked.

For your Q, NFC!

Okay, for Penn State to make it to the NC game (this is the most plausible scenario I can come up with):

Ya know what. I'm not even sure it's plausible (although admittedly possible). Even if Florida and Alabama both lose this weekend, the winner of the FL/AL game will probably be above PSU in the BCS standings. Then, you need both USC and Utah to lose a game. And you need complete calamity in the Big XII (basically the all three lose this weekend scenario I described above).

I already knew Christie1111 was an optimist.

I'm not even an optimist, other than wishing Oregon State well in their rivalry game with Oregon. I'd love to see them in the Rose Bowl. And I'd be happy in either Phoenix or New Orleans.
