OU beat Texas in points for still.

Points for is the stupidest way to decide a tiebreaker. Why is scoring points more important than not allowing them? Point differential makes a lot more sense...and OU has that tiebreaker too.

ABC also had a graphic showing the point differential for the 3 teams against common opponents (Big South teams and Kansas). Even in that case OU was far and away the best of the 3.

I really don't see how Texas got jobbed. Everyone completely forgets Texas Tech was also tied for first. If it was just OU and Texas then Texas would've went to the Big 12 championship for sure. But with the three way tie you have to factor Texas' loss to Tech and OU's destruction of Tech into account.
