Chaos it is

Well, the likely scenario has played out, and Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma tied for first in the Big12 South. The winner of Alabama-Florida is guaranteed one title game slot, but the other is in total chaos at this point. My money says Texas gets a bump in the human polls tomorrow, holding onto the 2nd BCS slot and sending the Longhorns to the conference title game, despite my contrary statement from yesterday. Oklahoma looks strong, but I think the head-to-head loss against Texas will cause voters to put UT over OU. Could easily go the other way too, but regardless, the same problems are presented. What happens if they lose to Missouri there?? Could a 1-loss Alabama get in ahead of Oklahoma and USC for a rematch with the Gators? Or could USC hop everyone because Oklahoma would have missed the conference title game on a technicality? And what about Texas Tech? Any way you look at this, it's messy. And if Mizzou can take care of whoever they see next Saturday, it's going to get even more messy, likely the worst since the inception of the BCS.
