Who the Hell will Win the Big XII South?

Figuring out the Big 12 South


The Big XII South has four teams in the top 10. So who is going to win the division and play probable Missouri in the Big XII championship? Let’s break it down.

Texas Tech is 5-0 in conference and has played: Texas (W)
Texas is 4-1 in conference and has played: Oklahoma (W), Oklahoma State (W), and Texas Tech (L)
Oklahoma is 4-1 in conference and has played: Texas (L)
Oklahoma State is 4-1 in conference and has played: Texas (L)

So what does this mean? I will now break down what will have to happen for each team to go the Big XII championship game.
Texas has already played their three main opponents. They beat two of them and lost to one. If Texas wins the rest of their games, they have to hope that Texas Tech gets beat twice in conference. A one loss Texas Tech team holds the tie-breaker over a one loss Texas team, but has the tiebreaker over a one loss Oklahoma or Oklahoma State team.
Texas Tech of course can just win out and go. If however, they lose to Oklahoma State or Oklahoma they will have to win out and hope that either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State loses to one other team. Then they would go to the Big XII championship.
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have pretty much the same road. They both need to beat Texas Tech, hope that Texas loses to one of their remaining opponents. They play each other at the end of the year, so if they both beat Tech and Texas gets upset again, the winner of the Sooner/Cowboy game would represent the Big XII South.

How I see it Playing Out
Week 11: Oklahoma State beats Texas Tech
Weeks 11-14: Texas wins out beating Texas A&M, Baylor, Kansas
Week 13: Oklahoma beats Texas Tech
Week 14: Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State
Week 15: Texas vs. Missouri (Big XII Championship Game)
