Yes, because with the 4 new teams we no longer have a perfect round robin. The Big XII always had this sort of parity, but because everyone played everyone it worked out fairly nicely for the last 8 years.
But this year Texas doesn't play OK State and K-State doesn't play oklahoma. Ostensibly, the Wildcats and Pokes gain an unfair advantage by not having to play both of the SEC-bound teams, hence the clarification. The issue though is that the tie that may need breaking is between those two exact teams.
