Beating uk is not as important as beating MU. stick with me here
uk still has one more loss for sure in Austin which makes them 4-4 at best
MU could potentially win out and end up at 5-3 with the tiebreaker over us
NUbb controls their own destiny to end up 5-3 (assuming they lose to OU) and have a tiebreaker over us
Since everyone is calling for 5-3 to win the north, the only sure way for us to go to dallas is to beat MU and nubb to get to 5-3 because ku is at best 4-4
