Right now, though, I can easily see an undefeated Big 12 champ being left out.
Why do we use this conference champ as a homogeneous idea? An undefeated Oklahoma or tu isn't thought of by the media as an "undefeated Big 12 Champ" in the same way Baylor or Kansas State are. They will always be held in a higher regard to an undefeated team from plenty of differente conferences. An undefeated Oklahoma or tu will always make it in to the playoff over and undefeated Washington, Washington State, Oregon State, UCLA, Cal, ASU, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wake Forest, Duke, Louisville, Clemson, UNC, NC State, Georgia Tech, BC, UVA, Virginia Tech, Pitt, Rutgers, Maryland, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan State, Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Indiana, etc.
Typing on my phone, so I am sure I forgot something, but I am all for shitting on the Big 12, but the selection committee isn't staring at "Big 12 Champs" without context.

All good points, but I can see an undefeated Texas (assuming OU and Baylor crap the bed and thus lower their SOS) being left out of the playoffs while an undefeated ACC and 1-loss B1G, PAC, and SEC team make it in. I think Texas is on the edge of being in BYU territory - where an undefeated season doesn't guarantee anything. This is in the context of the previous poster's question about whether Texas is in a better spot than they were before. I don't see how.
