With Oregon's loss last night, The Big 12 now controls their own destiny. The number 2, 3, and 4 teams in the BCS are Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The good news about this is that they each control their own destiny. Kansas and Missouri play in a couple weeks, followed by the Big 12 championship game in which OU should play the winner of the Kansas-Missouri game. It is very likely that the winner of the Big 12 Championship will end up ranked number 2, meaning that they will have the opportunity to play LSU for the national championship.
The BCS is lucky that Oregon lost, avoiding immediate controversy on which team deserves to be number 2. We get to see how all of this plays out shortly, Boomer Sooner!
