I don’t believe the Big 12 uses overall record as the tie breaker if 4 teams are tied in the conference standings.

The Big 12 doesn't use ANY tiebreaker beyond determining who plays in the conference championship game.

Bowls don't have to pick in order of conference finish, conference record, or overall record.

So we're at a 4 way tie now. Means we're anywhere from the Alamo to the Liberty bowl. Sucks, but nothing can be done now. Just hope that the Texas or Camping World bowl picks us

I was under the impression they had to pick in order of conference record and ties were broken by the bowls picking whoever they wanted.

From potentially playing nd in florida to potentially playing tennessee in Memphis. Well played isu. Well played.
I think playing Tennessee would be cool. Much better than playing Cincinnati or Memphis again. At least it would be an SEC Team + Johnny Majors can flip the coin again. That being said, the let down from potentially playing in Florida is big. Not as big as the 2002 debacle, but big enough. So, I think I'd enjoy playing the Vols @ Liberty Bowl! Easy drive too.

Nope. Their criteria are whoever they think can sell the most tickets, spend the most money, and make for good TV.

We're not going to that Alamo or CWB. Texas, Liberty, Cheezit are our possibilities.

And I’m banking on the Texas Bowl committee to do everything in their power to get that UT and A&M bowl game for the huge $$$$$$ and match up.

Meaning our only chance is the Cheez It Bowl so we’re not stuck in a horrible bowl match up in Memphis at probably one of the worst kick off times.

At this time with the way this team is playing, I would rather they come here in Texas. Good for recruiting (bowling in Texas 2 years in a roll) and I just moved to Houston so I would be glad to save my money and just spend on tickets.

Memphis? Against Memphis again?
