Texas Tech
Why is Texas in the Fiesta Bowl and not Texas Tech or Missouri?
The Big 12 champion goes to the Fiesta Bowl, but in this case OU is going to the championship game. Missouri was actually the runner up in the Big 12 so why not them in the Fiesta Bowl? Tech beat Texas head to head, so why not them? It seems that Texas should have been at best the 3rd team from the Big 12. Or is it based strictly on BCS ratings,Texas being the higher ranked team so they get to go to the Fiesta Bowl?
As another person pointed out, the Fiesta bowl gets to select it’s replacement for OU since OU is going to the NT game, but that selection is not without limits. They have to select a team with at least 9 wins and in the top 14 of the BCS rankings. They also cannot select a team that is tied to another bowl (Can’t select USC or Penn St for instance). Finally they can’t select a team from the same conference as the other team in the NT game (i.e. couldn’t select Alabama).
So as you can see Missouri was not eligible for the Fiesta bowl because they were not in the top 14 BCS standings nor did they have 9 wins.
As for Texas Tech, they could have taken Texas Tech, but Texas was ranked higher in the BCS and quite frankly is a much better TV and ticket sales draw.
