>From the Big 12 site:  In the first paragraph of the link below, they say that the team with the best percentage of league games will be the division champ and the representative to the Champtionship game. After that, in the tiebreaker section they only use the word "representative."  This, to me, suggests that we have a co-champ situation and the tie break is to determine who gets to go to the 13th game.  The Big 12, however, never uses  the hyphenated word. So there seems room to argue either side.
