I'm going to have to think about this ...

When I wrote “Who’s No. 1: 100-Plus Years of Controversial Champions in College Football,” one of the things that struck me was the number of different ways a title chase could be controversial. However, in true BCS form, the 2008 season found a completely new and different way of having things messed up.
Of course, I’m talking about the Big XII, which had a three-way tie atop the South Division standings, and used its fifth tiebreaker, best BCS rating, to determine which team will play North winner Missouri on Saturday in Kansas City.
To remind you, it all started with Texas beating No. 1 Oklahoma 45-35 at the neutral-site Cotton Bowl on Oct. 11. After jumping to No. 1, the Longhorns lost at Texas Tech 39-33 on Nov. 1. The Red Raiders, No. 2 at the time, in turn lost at Oklahoma 65-21 on Nov. 22.
All three teams finished 11-1, but Oklahoma has the inside track to the national championship. Considering Texas’ only loss came on Graham Harrell’s touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree with 1 second remaining, and it was the fourth of four consecutive games for the Longhorns against teams ranked in the top 11 of the Associated Press poll, Texas has a huge, and justifiable, beef (no pun intended ... Ok, maybe a little).
Making it worse was that the humans who participated in the polls that counted opted for Texas, and in combined voting of the USA Today coaches poll and the Harris poll the Longhorns went from 63 points behind the Sooners to five points ahead.
However, the BCS’s six computers sided with Oklahoma.
“Going into the last couple of weeks, we knew that a good team was going to be left out of the Big 12 championship,” Texas coach Mack Brown said in a statement. “Unfortunately, in this situation, it was us. It is what it is. We don’t like it, we don’t agree with it or think it’s fair, but, like anything else, we'll handle it and move forward.”
Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said the conference will revisit its tiebreak procedure after the season, which is the same response we've heard every other time there’s been a major controversy, which has happened just about every other year (give or take).
We’ll all have to wait and see if this ends up being the catalyst to some sort of playoff, but in the meantime I’m going to have to start thinking about where this ranks in the top 10 most controversial titles.
It might be in the top five already no matter which team comes out on top.
