Big 12
Conference championship participant #1:  Oklahoma (7-1)
Oklahoma has the best record in the conference.  Even if they lose their last game, the only other team that can achieve the same record is TCU.

If TCU (6-2) wins on Black Friday, then they clinch the second spot in the title game.

If they lose, they make the Saturday games a little more interesting.  Although, there are only four scenarios where TCU would not win the tiebreakers.

Two way tie
Scenario #1:  TCU/Iowa State
Outcome:  Iowa State clinches on head-to-head over TCU.

Three way ties
The teams involved would be 1-1 against each other, so the next tiebreaker basically compares them to the best team in the conference (Oklahoma).

Scenario #2:  TCU/OSU/Iowa State
Outcome:  Iowa State clinches as the only team to beat Oklahoma.

Scenario #3:  TCU/Texas/Iowa State
Outcome:  Iowa State clinches as the only team to beat Oklahoma.

Scenario #4:  TCU/WVU/Iowa State
Outcome:  WVU and Iowa State both beat Oklahoma, WVU had head-to-head over Iowa State.

TCU can clinch with a win or a Iowa State loss.
Iowa State can clinch with a win and a TCU loss and a WVU loss.
WVU can clinch with a win and a Iowa State win and losses by TCU, Texas, and Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma State and Texas have been officially eliminated from contention.

Bowl eligible:  TCU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, WVU, Kansas State, Texas
5-6:  Texas Tech
No bowl:  Baylor, Kansas
