The BCS decided the fate of the Big 12 South Sunday, and it favored OU, despite the Longhorns constant campaigning. 

The Sooners defeated Oklahoma State 61-41 Saturday, giving them the edge in the computer poll and the number 2 spot in the BCS behind Alabama.  Oklahoma has a .9351 BCS average. Texas’ BCS average is .9223. The Sooners were one point ahead of Texas in the USA Today coaches poll and 6 points behind the Longhorns in the Harris Interactive poll.  

The Sooners head to Kansas City to face off against Missouri in the Big 12 Championship.  If OU wins, they will go to the BCS Championship game against the SEC Champion, either Alabama or Florida.  If the Sooners lose, then it is likely Texas will go to the BCS Championship, without winning their conference championship.
