KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Is there any way the Oklahoma Sooners could win the Big 12 championship tonight and be passed by Texas in the BCS rankings?

    12/06/2008 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Arrowhead Stadium has hosted more Big 12 football championship games than any other venue. Tonight’s Oklahoma-Missouri game...

No one really thinks so. The computers wouldn’t drop OU behind Texas, and any voters intent on shifting the Longhorns ahead of the Sooners had the opportunity last weekend. And some did so.

OU coach Bob Stoops said he hasn’t pondered the question.

"I don’t ever look at anything other than doing your best to win, and that’s what we’re focused on,” Stoops said Friday at the Big 12 title game press conference. "Whatever is going to be will be from there.

"There’s a lot of opinions out there and a lot of voices, but in the end, what you do on Saturday is all that matters.”

Well, not all that matters. In college football, Saturday results are followed by Sunday votes.

And the notorious three-way tie in the Big 12 South created the ultimate dilemma.

"It’s kind of a perfect storm down in the South this year,” said Missouri coach Gary Pinkel. "I question that it would ever happen again. But it’s just obviously great teams, and two teams are going to be very disappointed.”
