Two Big 12 bowls became official today at the Gator got the go-ahead to invite Nebraska and the Insight will make it official with Kansas.

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe had wanted the league to wait until after the Missouri-Oklahoma game for the conference title on Saturday before letting teams accept bids.

But as the Florida Times Union reports, the Gator has the green light for Nebraska.  The Insight Bowl will make it official for Kansas later today.

Those moves reinforce the scenario that Missouri will either be in the Fiesta (beating Oklahoma) or the Alamo (with a loss to OU.)

The Big 12 bowl selection process: after the BCS games make their selections (the Big 12 title winner as automatic and Texas as an at-large) it will go like this:

Cotton: Texas Tech.

Holiday: Oklahoma State. Cowboys still getting the edge over Missouri because of head-to-head win.

Gator: Nebraska.

Alamo: Missouri

Insight: Kansas

That’s it for bowl-eligible teams from Big 12.
