If OU can slip into a BCS bowl
BCS: Texas
BCS: OU
Cotton: Nebraska
Holiday: Kansas State***
Alamo: Missouri
Sun: Texas A&M
insight: OSU
Independence: ku
Texas: TTU
If only 1 BCS slot
BCS: Texas
Cotton: OU
Holiday: Nebraska
Alamo: Kansas State**
Sun: TAMU
insight: Missouri
Texas: OSU
Pointsetta??: ku
**US
-
i don't think ku would be chosen over ttech
-
fatty, Mizzou lost to OK, Nub, and TAMU, they would only have to lose to one team to be below us. Thus, ku can still lose out :D and NU doesn't HAVE to lose to CU..
Edit: Fatty, I think you meant to say Mizzou over ISU. You put ISU with zero wins in conference and then said they won the game
-
ISU needs to sack up and win an f-ing game!!!

The Big XII getting two BCS slots is a longshot. The Big Televen is likely going to get two automatic qualifiers with OSU/Mich being #1/#3 (if they aren't #1/#2), Notre Dame will probably be an automatic qualifier with a top 8 BCS finish, ditto Boise State will be in with a top 12 finish. Add in the five other automatic qualifiers and nine of the ten available spots are filled before anyone gets around to selecting an at-large team. There's pretty much no way the Big XII can play out to have two teams finish ranked nearly highly enough to get the only at-large slot that'll likely be available.
-
I also see no way that the Big 12 gets 2 BCS teams. Our only shot at Holiday is if the Gator Bowl would pick a Big 12 team, and that seems unlikely right now. They pick #4 in the Big 12 pecking order and UT, OU, and NU will be gone* by that point so the only choice would be MU or us and I don't think they'd pick either over the Big East #2 which will be a ranked WVU, Rutgers, or Louisville. So our Holiday shot is very slim IMO.
The next best scenario is the Alamo, but I think we need both aTm and MU to lose for that to happen. I think its likely that aTm loses, but I don't see it with MU.
If the Holiday falls through, I could see us in the Sun Bowl or the Insight Bowl.
All of this also assumes a win in Lawrence, which I don't think will be as easy as some think.
*assumes UT winning over aTm.

I believe the Gator has a 1-time exception that allows them to pick second from the Big XII teams. Yes, ahead of the Cotton Bowl. No reason for them to use it this year though. The #2 Big East team a Big XII team would replace is likely to be top 10 while the #2 Big XII team will be fortunate to be top 20.
