- NFL Tie-Breaking Procedures Brent Musberger made a really good point during the Bedlam game when he said that he didn’t like the BCS ranking deciding a conference tie, and that he would prefer a system that stays inside the conference. He’s right — why turn over your conference tie breaker to dumb voters OR computers? Go with some variant of the NFL tie breaking rules, which would be preferable to the Big 12’s current tiebreaker AND to that self-serving tiebreaker Mack Brown offered up (which still depends on the BCS, but in a way that would favor his team).
