Question
Can Texas still win the Big 12 South if Texas Tech losses to Oklahoma or Oklahoma State?

Answer
Cody, hello!

The Horns have games left with Baylor, Kansas and Texas A. & M.

The Red Raiders have Okie State, Oklahoma and Baylor.

If T. Tech loses two and if Texas wins all three, then Texas would win.

If Tech lose one and Texas wins all three, they would be tied and Texas Tech would get the title because of their victory over the Longhorns.

So, the odds do not favor Texas getting that conference South title.
They could finish the season with one loss and not play for the National Championship, just like Southern Cal, Penn State and Florida.

Right not, I'd say that Texas Tech will lose a game in their last three and the National title game could be Gators vs. Penn State or Alabama vs. Texas Tech.
