Texas' wild victory over Nebraska Saturday night ensures all of the Big 12's bowl partners will get a team from the conference.

Bowl selections will be released later today.

Here's a look at how I see the bowls' choices play out when the picks are made.

• BCS National Championship Game, Jan. 7, 8 p.m. ET, FOX Sports, Pasadena, Calif. -- Texas vs. BCS team
• AT&T Cotton Bowl, Jan. 2, 2 p.m., FOX Sports, Arlington, Texas -- Oklahoma State vs. SEC team
• Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, Dec. 30, 8 p.m., ESPN, San Diego -- Nebraska vs. Pac-10 team
• Valero Alamo Bowl, Jan. 2, 9 p.m., ESPN, San Antonio – Texas Tech vs. Big Ten team
• Brut Sun Bowl, Dec. 31, 2 p.m., CBS, El Paso, Texas -- Oklahoma vs. Pac-10 team
• Insight Bowl, Dec. 31, 6 p.m., NFL Network, Tempe, Ariz. – Missouri vs. Big Ten team
• Independence Bowl, Dec. 28, 5 p.m., ESPN, Shreveport, La. -- Texas A&M vs. SEC
• Texas Bowl, Dec. 31, 3:30 p.m., ESPN, Houston -- Iowa State vs. Navy

And one other remnant from the game Saturday night: The Longhorns' dramatic victory actually will end up costing the conference about $4.5 million.

The Big 12 stood to make an extra $4.5 million in BCS money if it had two teams in BCS games. If Nebraska had beaten Texas, the conference assuredly would have had two teams in those bowls.

Instead, the Longhorns will represent the conference.

And something tells me that a national championship for the Longhorns would be worth the extra money in credibility for the conference this season.
