Everyone that makes this argument always leaves out the fact that Texas Tech also only had 1 loss and it was a 3 way tie. That's convenient.
Tech beat Texas by 6 on a last second TD
Texas beat OU by 10
OU blasted #2 Tech by 44 points
I agree Texas probably should have played in the Big 12 title game, but a 3 way tie isn't near the same as head to head.
