So, lots of questions about what has to happen for OU to get in. So I went back and looked at the BCS rankings of the highest ranked Big XII teams. Now I know we don't have a BCS anymore, but I doubt BCS and this committee thing will be that much different as far as rankings. In fact, it they are way different, it probably will be changed.
So, here are the final rankings of the Big XII's top schools by year:
2013: #6 Baylor 11-1 (ranked behind FSU, Auburn, Bama, MSU and 2 loss Stanford). 2013 Big XII gets left out.
2012: #5 Kansas State 11-1 (ranked behind ND, Bama, Florida, Oregon). 2012 Big XII gets left out.
2011: #3 OSU 11-1, behind LSU and Alabama. 2012, Big XII goes to the dance.
2010: TCU was #3, but not in Big XII. OU is first Big XII school at #7 with 11-2 record.
2009: #2 Texas at 12-0. TCU also 12-0 at #4. Big XII goes.
2008: #1 OU 12-1, #3 Texas 11-1. in 2009, Big XII would have sent 2 schools.
2007: #4 OU 11-2. Big XII would have gone.
2006: #7 OU 11-2. Big XII left out, no 1 loss teams.
2005: #2 Texas 12-0. Big XII goes.
2004: #2 OU 12-0. Texas at #6 at 10-1 although 4 no loss teams that year. Big XII goes.
2003: #1 OU 12-0. Big XII goes.
2002: #6 KSU - 10-2. No Big XII school with 1 loss.
So, it looks like the theme is, if your name is OU or Texas and you've got 1 loss, you are more than likely in. If your name is TCU, Baylor or KSU, 1 loss probably isn't good enough.
Of the 12 years here, a Big XII school goes 7 times, and one of those times we would have sent 2 schools.
