1) Head to Head.
2) Record of the tied teams
3) Record of the tied teams against the next team not tied.
4) BCS standing, unless 2 teams are within 1 spot of each other, then 1)

Texas.
OU's out of conference loss to ND takes them out of the three-way tie. It would come down to KState and Texas. Since Texas won heads up, Texas takes it home.

Thanks for explaining that. I didn't think OOC record mattered.

NOn-conferences losses don't figure in conference tie breaker.

Seems you're right. I got the right answer, but shouldn't have tried to show my work.

If Texas beats TCU and KSU and OSU beats OU, then there will be a 4 way tie with UT, KSU, OU and OSU for the Big 12 title. Can anyone figure the tie breaker in that scenario?

The four way tie will come down to who has the highest BCS ranking. If OU loses another game they will drop behind us in the rankings. If we win out then we will be higher than KState and OSU will just be to far behind. So therefore i think we would have the highest BCS ranking and therefore win the confernce..

This is incorrect.
It would come down to records against the 4 teams tied. Texas and KSU would each 2-1 while OU and OSU would be 1-2. This would eliminate OU and OSU so it would then be a head to head between Texas and KSU which Texas wins.

Yep. All we need to do is win out and have OU drop one and we win the the big12 and go to Fiesta bowl.

I don't thinkk that anyone has mentioned this. The Austin American Statesman said on Friday that the Big 12 was almost certain to get 2 BCS bowl invitations. Even if OU wins out and wins the Big 12, TX will be 2d if we win out and we may get a BCS bowl just by winning out, without any concern about OU...although a Big 12 championship would be great. And it surely seems like OSU should be able to beat OU from what I have seen lately.
