As a preliminary indication, I think Texas is now safely assured of a slot in the Big 12 title game. While the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll ranks Oklahoma second and Texas third, only one single point separate the two teams. So, for all intents and purposes, they're tied. The Harris Poll also gave Texas a bump, pushing them from fourth, one slot behind Oklahoma, to third, one slot ahead of Oklahoma. That lead is a mere 6 polling points, but Texas had a sizeable lead heading into the weekend with the computers. Oklahoma should rise there, but not enough to overcome Texas' large advantage.
We'll see what happens this afternoon, but it appears to me that we're looking at Texas-Missouri for the Big 12.
UPDATE: Scratch my idiocy. Apparently the OK State game was enough to send Oklahoma not only over Texas in the computers, but all the way to #1. Go figure......
