What was once a clear path to the Big 12 Championship, became muddled as five teams still are in the running for division titles.

Nebraska’s disappointing 9-6 loss to Texas A&M Saturday and Oklahoma’s 53-24 win over Baylor set into motion an exciting finish to the season. With a big college football week ahead, here are what the five teams left in contention need to do to have a shot at winning either divisions in the Big 12 courtesy of the conference offices:
Missouri: Needs to beat Kansas and for Colorado to beat Nebraska. That would make the Tigers North Division champions.
Nebraska: Can clinch the North Division with a victory over Colorado or a Missouri loss to Kansas.
Oklahoma: The Sooners need to beat Oklahoma State Saturday in Stillwater. If Texas beats Texas A&M Thursday, an OU victory over Oklahoma State would give the Sooners the South Division title
Oklahoma State: Can clinch the South Division title with a victory over Oklahoma. A loss to the Sooners plus a loss by Texas A&M would put Oklahoma and Oklahoma State into a first-place tie but Oklahoma would have the head-to-head tiebreaker edge.
The Cowboys would fall into a three-way tie for first with a loss to the Sooners and a Texas A&M victory over Texas.
Texas A&M: Would finish 6-2 with a victory at Texas Thursday. If Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State, that would create a three-way tie in the South Division.
And in case of a three-way tie, the fine people over at the Big 12 Conference have provided an easy, seven-step tie-breaker format. Enjoy.
If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
1. The records of the three teams will be compared against each other
2. The records of the three teams will be compared within their division
3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5 and 6)
4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents.
5. The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series poll following the completion of Big 12 regular season conference play shall be the representative in the Big 12 Championship Game, unless two of the tied teams are ranked within one spot of the other in the BCS poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the Big 12 Championship Game.
6. The team with the best overall winning percentage (excluding exempted games) shall be the representative.
7. The representative will be chosen by draw.
