He acted exactly the way that Saban was acting in 2011 BEFORE the BCS pairings

Everyone expects coaches to lobby for their team- that is part of their job. But if you think Saban in '11 is exactly like Briles in '14 you are a fricking moron.

I was actually on Briles' side at first, but calling Bowlsby out publicly like that is just busch league. Regardless of the 'one true champion' nonsense, everyone knew how the Big12 picked their conference champs going into the season. The commish is a pawn to the member schools- Bowlsby didn't dream up their fricked up system himself like Briles would have you believe. If the various Big12 members request to eliminate the 'co-champions' I'm sure they would get that. Waiting until after the season to make this extremely public and damaging complaint makes Briles look an a-hole. In his silence until the end of the season, he was complicit in their system. All that said, I have found the whole thing hilarious to observe.
