Some interesting info from Blair Kerkhoff of the KC Star:
Say the Big 12 North Division champion finishes with an overall record of 6-5. Not impossible.
And say that division champion gets clocked by any South Division winner, as no doubt it will be expected to do, in the Big 12 championship game at Arrowhead Stadium and owns a 6-6 record.
Does that make the team ineligible for a bowl game?
NCAA rules say yes. In an 11-game season, a team must have a winning record for bowl eligibility.
“We’re looking into it,” Big 12 assistant commissioner Bob Burda said.
Looking into it means asking the NCAA about a waiver for this possibility. The call went out Monday.
“Yes, we’ve heard from the Big 12,” said Dennis Poppe, the NCAA’s senior director of football. “There is no legislation to address this situation.”
