GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The Big 12 was expecting a formal proposal of the deregulation of conference championship games to pass easily next month, but the Big Ten filed a last-minute amendment in November that could prevent the Big 12 from having a conference championship game as early as 2016.

"We're trying to work our way through it, but I'm less certain of the outcome than I was before," Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told ESPN.com on Sunday, just hours after Oklahoma slid into the College Football Playoff at No. 4. "We don't think we ought to be forced into adding schools in order to have a championship game, but it could end up that way."
