So what? The New York Giants beat both the Cardinals and Steelers last year ... does that give them some kind of claim to the title? Of course not.

So if you lose your bowl game your winning percentage goes down and you aren't the champion because you played an extra game!

Wasn't that Extra Game the Big 12 CHAMPIONSHIP Game that OU played and WON? :roll:

No, the conference standings are based on the regular season and account for head-to-head results.

I'm having a senior moment, who did Tech lose to other than OU?

Stallion · Post by **Stallion** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 1:43 pm

Nobody other than Ole Miss in the Cotton Bowl

Than shouldn't Tech be ahead of Texas??

No, Texas should always win out over Tech on general principle.

I beg to differ as the link clearly shows the conference standings at 7-1 and the overall standings are used to determine the winning percentage.

But what do I know I'm a USC alum...
