Quoted:
On the field last night, Texas was losing to Nebraska by a score of 10 to 12. Instead of lining up & kicking a field goal with 9 seconds left, Texas QB Colt McCoy took a snap from center and then scrambled to elude pressure from Nebraska's defensive rush, throwing an incomplete pass out of bounds as time ran out. Coach Mack Brown demanded that one second be placed back on the clock so that Texas could have another shot at that field goal. The officials took a 'replay review' and placed one second back on the clock. Texas kicked the disputed field goal.
Under 'Big12 Conference Rules' -

(1) The game ended on an incomplete pass thrown out of bounds. Incomplete passes out of the field of play are not reviewable. (Sect 3, Art 2, paras. a. & d.)
(2) Clock adjustments are made only when a ruling on the field is reversed. (Sect 3, Art 3, para. f.) There was no ruling on the field that was reversed except the ruling on the clock.
A loss by Texas would have meant that Alabama would be facing either Cincinatti or TCU in the BCS Bowl. :ack2:
