The BCS mess is the Big 12's fault

So as many of you know the BCS has created a mess of college football but this year the blame is not just theirs. The Big 12 conference must shoulder part of the blame. You may be wondering why I say this so please let me explain. First and foremost we must realize that the Big 12 conference needed to go to the 5th tie breaker to decide which team would represent the South division in the Big 12 championship game. The previous 4 are as follows:
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;

The problem with such a tie breaker is that the Big 12 south division not only had a 3 way tie but also dominated the Big 12 overall. The BCS rankings currently have Oklahoma at #2, Texas at #3, and Texas Tech at #7. Yet if this was the SEC the solution would be simple. Texas would be playing for the big 12 championship. Why? Because In the SEC, the team with the highest BCS ranking advances, unless the two teams are within five places of each other and then it is determined by the head-to-head between the 2 teams. Thus Texas would win based on their 45-35 win over Oklahoma. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe in a press conference today said that the Big 12 will reassess the tie breaking procedures after the season yet when he was asked of the SEC rule he stated "Let's say that the eighth-ranked team in the BCS is in the same division as the third-ranked,If the eighth-ranked team beat the third-ranked team on a last-second play at home, sending the eighth-ranked team, that would defeat the purpose of trying to send the team with the best chance of winning a national championship."

The problem with this scenario that it fails to account for the fact the big 12 north division has provided with Missouri who by all accounts has had a good season at 9-3 but 5-3 in Big 12 play however are no where near the level of Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech. In my opinion the Big 12 has so many compelling options that they could have put in the championship game. Why not put the 2 best teams in the conference in the Big 12 championship game regardless of which division they are from. Who wouldn't love to see a Red River Rematch with Texas and Oklahoma meeting on a neutral field again? As for me I would love to see such a game, not only would it determine the true Big 12 champion but it would catapult the winner into the BCS championship game.
