How about we consult the rules. . .
Divisional Champion: The (eligible) team with the best winning-percentage of all divisional members in its eight conference games is declared the divisional champion and representative to the Dr Pepper Big 12 Conference Football Championship Game. A team ineligible under NCAA or Big 12 rules for postseason (bowl) competition shall not compete in the Championship Game.
Divisional Tiebreakers: The following procedure will determine the representative from each division in the event of a tie:
a If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative
b If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
1 The records of the three teams will be compared against each other
2 The records of the three teams will be compared within their division
3 The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of fi nish (4, 5 and 6)
4 The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;
5 The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big 12 regular season conference play shall be the representative
6 The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative
7 The representative will be chosen by draw.

Might wanna reconsider the "Texas" reply.

Which part of that is making you think Tech or OU would be chosen over Texas?

2) Tech is undefeated, OSU is not.
3) Tech is ranked #2, OSU #9
4) Tech is favored by the odds makers in vegas.
Those are a few indicators, I could go on but...
Whoever brings more emotion to this game will win. I just can't imagine Tech not bringing emotion to a Lubbock game.

BUT I agree, it is all about who brings the emotion to play...
I don't think Tech can bring the same level of intensity that they had last weekend, one of the big reasons why I think OSU is going to tech it by a 3 pt win.

1 The records of the three teams will be compared against each other
Assuming that OU wins out and tech beats OSU,their records will be identical therefore, this does not apply, go to (2)
2 The records of the three teams will be compared within their division
Again, the 3 teams will be 1 loss teams within their division, does not apply, go to (3)
3 The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of fi nish (4, 5 and 6)
Does not apply, go to (4).
4 The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;
All common conference opponents will have gotten the snot whipped out of them by all 3 teams, therefore, does not apply, go to (5)
5 The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big 12 regular season conference play shall be the representative Bingo
6 The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative
7 The representative will be chosen by draw.

Doesn't matter if they do UT holds the tiebreaker against OU. We need tech to lose today and against OU to be completely safe, if they only lose one (my opinion) then it will be up to the BCS gods.

1) Its called home field advantage, and I don't believe that OSU has beaten Tech in Lubbock in a very long time (if ever) That's good since this year they are playing the same team from previous years...
2) Tech is undefeated, OSU is not. Terrible Point
3) Tech is ranked #2, OSU #9 Also terrible
4) Tech is favored by the odds makers in vegas. It's 3 points.
Those are a few indicators, I could go on but... Nice indicators

Well, because the BCS formula is....1/3 Harris Poll + 1/3 Coaches Poll + 1/3 Computer poll. We are already ahead of Texas in the human polls (Harris poll and the Coaches Poll). The only poll that has Texas ahead of OU is the computer poll. If OU beats a #2 Tech (that beat UT) it could possibly lift our computer ranking high enough to pass Texas. It happened in 2006 (Texas beat OU, then OU wound up winning the ccg). I don't see why it can't happen again. Do you understand now?

Woot it IS game day. GL Tech fans. I for one am counting on a ridiculously close game. Each side of the OSU/TT rivalry has big numbers and it's going to be interesting to see how it comes out. I'm obviously going to root for OSU because I've always been a Pokes fan, but I'm not going to come in here and say it's going to be a rout because it's not unless one team flat doesn't show up to play. GL guys, it's gonna be a bumpy ride

Uh, there are a lot of savvy football people that I know that have no bias towards UT that think OSU will win this game. Dude, you seem to want to make an issue out of everything. Relax.

OSU is gonna run the ball down Tech's throat tonite and win in a close game. Tech is a good team, but OSU is also a damn good team, as is OU, and they've still got to beat both of them to go to the Big 12 CCG, which won't happen IMO. There is a LOT of football left be played to determine things. Some of you think Tech has this wrapped up and they don't by any means.
