But please explain to me why in weeks 12 and 13 this year the BCS standings had the undefeated eventual Big 12 champ ranked lower than any other major conference undefeated team at that time? Heck in week 12 a one-loss Stanford was still ranked ahead of the eventual Big 12 champion in the BCS standings.


That's very simple. If you're not Texas or Oklahoma, you will NOT get the benefit of the doubt because of how weak the conference is. Furthermore, Texas and Oklahoma MUST be unbeaten to make the playoff as losses to any of the other 8 teams are weighted much more unfavorably because of the weakness of the conference.

Case in point:

Kansas State - 1998, 2012
Texas Tech - 2008
Oklahoma State - 2011
Baylor - 2013
