This is dumb.
The 2008 B12 had a 3-way tie among Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech for the division with all three owning a loss and win over each other. Someone was going to get voted behind a team they beat head-to-head. Briles did probably vote strategically to ensure his major in-state competitor didn't get a chance to play for a title, but that neither compares to this current situation nor discredits his argument for Baylor getting into the playoffs over TCU.

You're conveniently ignoring the fact that Texas Tech had two losses, so they weren't even part of the discussion, just like West Virginia isn't part of the discussion today, despite beating Baylor. Texas and Oklahoma both had one loss, just like Baylor and TCU today, so the debate was always between them only. What's dumb is thinking a two-loss Texas Tech could have ever been ranked higher than a one-loss Texas or Oklahoma.
