Can we lose to Kansas and still go to the Big 12 Championship?

So here’s the hypothetical situation: Texas and WVU lose, Iowa State wins. This creates a three way tie for second place. The tie breaker looks at head to head of the three teams. We are all 1-1 in that case.

This is where it gets interesting: I believe the next rule looks at the head to head rankings of each team in the conference, starting with the highest ranked team. Since Texas was the only school to beat OU, we’d win the tie breaker.

Is this correct?

No and no. If we lose to Kansas we don't deserve to play for the conf championship no matter what the tie breaker is.

Gasp. Don't even let that enter into your mind.

Eh, we kind of "cluster f*kd" that one up by allowing ou back in the game with our mental errors.

It looks like point differential comes after the record against the conference. Here are the rules:

b. If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 4 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the regular season game between the two tied teams shall prevail.
1. The Conference records of the three or more teams will be compared against each other in a “mini round-robin” format.
2. The Conference records of the three or more teams will be compared against the remaining team(s) in the Conference
standings from top to bottom.
a. When comparing against the remaining teams in the Conference standings any two-way ties will be broken by head-to-head
competition before the comparison begins.
b. If more than a two-way tie exists amongst the remaining teams in the Conference standings, the record against the collective
tied teams as a group will be used.
3. Scoring differential among the tied teams. The team or teams with the lowest difference between points scored and points
