Big 12 Working on Tiebreakers to Crown True Football Champion

IRVING, Texas (AP) – The Big 12 is getting closer to deciding how it wants to crown one true champion in football.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby reiterated Tuesday the conference is prepared to use head-to-head results BIG 12 LOGOto break a two-way tie for first. He added that athletic directors will discuss at league meetings next week different procedures for breaking ties between more than two teams. Bowlsby says the goal with three or more teams will be to whittle the group down to two and then use head-to-head to crown a champion.

The Big 12 began last season touting its “One True Champion” slogan and ended it with Bowlsby handing out championship trophies to both TCU and Baylor, which beat the Horned Frogs in the regular season. Both were left out of the College Football Playoff.
