Tramel: OU-Texas in Arlington is a distinct possibility

Big 12 Championship Game possibilities are boundless as the conference football season crosses the midway point. Twenty-four of the 45 scheduled league games have been played, and at least six teams still remain in the hunt for Arlington, Texas.

That’s counting 3-2 West Virginia but not 2-3 TCU. I think the Horned Frogs are better than the Mountaineers, but WVU still gets to play Texas, OU and Iowa State. Opportunity remains for West Virginia. Not so much for TCU, which already has played OU, Texas, Iowa State and Kansas State. A 6-3 team isn’t likely to finish as high as second (the top two teams make the title game), and even if TCU somehow did, the tiebreakers don’t favor the Frogs.
