OU is in the Big XII, not the Big 10 and Pac 10 = Big XII was certainly not the case that year. In 03 OU had one conference loss just like USC and LSU and OU had the best conference record in the Big XII that year even after losing the conf championship game to KSU. Our non-conference games that year were against North Texas State, Alabama, Fresno State, and UCLA.

When you lose your conference championship you shouldn't be able to play for a national championship. That makes the conference championship's completely irrelevant, especially if there is a conference championship game (SEC, Big 12 and ACC). The team that wins their conference championship from any conference should go to a better bowl game then the rest of the teams in the conference. No sense in having a conference championship game if it's not going to mean anything. WE NEED A PLAYOFF SYSTEM!
