Something odd in the South voting.  Texas gets 2 more 1st place votes and they still end up tied.  This means some one or more are voting them third or lower.

South Division
1.   Texas (17)                 174
1.   Oklahoma (15)           174
3.   Oklahoma State         130
4.   Texas Tech                  89
5.   Baylor                          75
6.   Texas A&M                  33
