By eliminating one team from a tie you *are* letting the BCS pick the winner.

No, you are letting the BCS pick the loser, then letting the rest be decided on the field. You remember the old Sesame Street song, right? "One of these things is not like the other..."

I know that it's hard to digest, but the SEC scenario is far superior to the current Big 12 scenario in letting the play on the field decide.

Let's see, we have 5 conferences with divisions, and of those 5, 4 of them would have picked Texas, while one of them picked OU and 0 picked Tech. So, is the Big 12 smarter than the other 4, or did the Big 12 screw it up?

I've got no problem living with the results, it is what it is. I just wish that one single OU ot TECH fan would admit the obvious and quit pretending to be superior based on a flawed decision.

“I know that it’s hard to digest, but the SEC scenario is far superior to the current Big 12 scenario in letting the play on the field decide.”

No Its *slightly* superior but its still bunk to use a poll as a tie breaker. Coin flips are more fair than that. Lets be honest the only reason the big-12, SEC, .... Use the BCs is to give their division winner a better chance of going to the NC.

“I just wish that one single OU ot TECH fan would admit the obvious and quit pretending to be superior based on a flawed decision.”

I dont think any of the teams are superior you guys caught OU flatfooted, OU caught TT flatfooted, and TT beat Texas. And of this ‘were better because blah blah blah’ is crap. We will never know who was the best of the 3 unless they all played each other several times at several locations.
