Features two teams that LOST to the Texas Longhorns. What a joke.

Someone was going to get the shaft on this deal and it happened to be Texas. Tech could be complaining as well. They beat Texas, have only one loss and it is to the second ranked team in the nation, and yet they are 4 spots behind the longhorns in the BCS rankings.

I wonder if this will affect the tiebreak rule at all

I bet you will see the Big 12 switch to the SEC and ACC version of the rule, though it is unlikely to be used again any time soon!

BCS standings break the tie, unless the top two teams are separated by five or fewer spots, in which case it reverts to head to head between those two teams

Too bad Mizzou can't let UT take their place-it would be great for the Big 12 and settle a lot of questions.
