Top 26 Poll: no Big XII controversy here

The Internets have been ablaze with the injustice of the Big XII South three-way tiebreaker this week. Sunday's BCS standings determined that Oklahoma was worthy of facing Missouri in the Big XII championship game over the likes of Texas and Texas Tech. Longhorn lovers are justifiably upset since their team did, in fact, beat Oklahoma head-to-head earlier in the year on a neutral field. College football's great, isn't it?

Had the Big XII used the Bronco Blogger Top 26 Poll as its tiebreaker, it would be Texas vs. Missouri for the Big XII title, and the Longhorns would be the ones with a big advantage on getting to the National Championship Game.

To that effect, if our poll was used, Boise State wouldn't be shut out of the BCS at this point.
