in order to get one of the better bowls so they can afford to pay Mack Brown and staff.

I just turned the channel to watch the game.

That ensures the Fiesta Bowl, I think.

What if UT loses to TT? Do they still have a chance? If OSU wins and then loses to OU and UT beats Baylor then all three would be 7 and 2.

I'm confused.

it puts OSU in the top spot at the end of this week and if they beat OU then they win the Big 12 outright.

Texas can still win the conference if they beat both TT and Baylor. They would have one conference loss; meanwhile OU, OSU and Baylor will have two conference losses.

There still is a scenario for a 4-way tie if Texas loses to TT and beats Baylor, then OU beats OSU. I think that OSU would take it in that instance since OSU and UT would be 2-1 in the 4-way round robin while OU and Baylor would be 1-2. Then OSU would take it by their win over UT.
