The Wildcats have played their way into consideration for a New Year’s Six bowl in Chris Klieman’s fourth season at the helm and can now spoil the party for a TCU team they had a golden chance to put away in October.

The Longhorns’ win over Baylor on Friday meant the Wildcats needed to win against Kansas in order to stay one loss ahead of Texas in the conference standings and avoid a tiebreaker that would have sent the Longhorns to the championship game.
