How would the following hypothetical 3-way tie for 1st have been broken in the Big 8?

Colorado - 6-1, loss to Nebraska
Nebraska - 6-1, loss to Oklahoma
Oklahoma - 6-1, loss to Colorado

Don't know for sure, but I believe the protocol would be that they are officially all co- (or tri-) champions. The Orange Bowl bid would go to the team with the longest time elapsed since their last trip to the Orange Bowl.

Yep, my team is Oklahoma in the BB-BBCF, and we're claiming the conference championship for historical purposes, but it looks like we're hosed since we went to the Orange Bowl the two previous seasons.

We had this exact same scenario happen to me in high school. They flipped a fucking coin.

A three-sided coin? Personally, I would have just rolled a die. :D
