The second team in the BCS half of the conference-by-conference bowl projection series is the one likely to meet the SEC Champion in the BCS Championship Game: The Big 12.And yes, writing 12 is easier than XII, even though that may or may not be the official name of the conference on any given day of the week.A year ago, the Big 12 had three teams with designs on going to the BCS Championship game; ultimately, it was Oklahoma who went to the big one, Texas who replaced them in the Fiesta and Texas Tech who had to settle for quite possibly the most undeserved (in a good way) Cotton Bowl berth ever.What a difference a year makes. While the Big 12 is still likely to have one of its teams play for the national title, it will take a miracle stroke of luck for a second team to even sniff BCS contention.Texas could make a down year in the Big 12 a distant memory if it can end the SECs streak of BCS Championships, while the evident parity could make for some interesting bowl matchups. 
Eight of the dozen teams in the Big 12 are eligible for post-season play this year. Kansas State also finished 6-6, but because two of those wins were against FCS (formerly Division I-AA) schools, they did not qualify. These are the Big 12 teams who will be going bowling this Holiday season:Texas (12-0, South Division Champion)Nebraska (9-3, North Division Champion)Oklahoma State (9-3) Missouri (8-4)Texas Tech (8-4)Oklahoma (7-5)Iowa State (6-6)Texas A&M (6-6). 8: Texas BowlIn most years, there would be a rotation system in the middle between the Sun, Alamo, and Gator Bowls; again, however, the Gator must select a Big East team, so that is out of play. Also, because the Big 12 is highly unlikely to receive a second BCS bid, all bowls will select as ordered.Should they do so, however, the Texas Bowl bid would be forfeited. Projected Bowl selections: No 1: BCS National Championship GameTexasNo 2: Cotton BowlOklahoma StateNo 3: Holiday BowlNebraskaNo 4: Alamo BowlTexas TechNo 5: Sun BowlOklahomaNo 6: Insight BowlMissouriNo 7: Independence BowlIowa StateNo.
8: Texas BowlTexas A&MNebraska will be the best team theyve faced all season, but Texas should defeat them and move on to the BCS The Longhorns should then still be No. 2 and head to the BCS Championship; if not, they will go to the Fiesta Bowl as per the usual BCS tie-in.Then it gets weird.Oklahoma State was a likely candidate for the Fiesta Bowl until losing to Oklahoma, and now they could end up as low as the Sun Bowl.The likeliest scenario is that the Cotton will take them, with Nebraska going west for the Holiday and the Alamo taking in-state rep Texas Tech. However, all it takes is one upset to see Oklahoma State drop like a rock. But, even if Oregon State wins the Pac-10, the Cotton would probably still avoid Nebraska, so I digress.With the fifth pick, the Sun Bowl takes Oklahoma. The Insight, Independence, and Texas Bowls now get to choose between Missouri, Iowa State, and Texas Tech The Insight, which might lose its other tie-in (Big Ten No. 6) based on the BCS, would likely take Missouri because theyre the best team of the three.The Texas Bowl would like to have A&M and will probably get them, as the Independence will match Iowa State against South Carolina and let A&M head to Houston to battle Navy..
