Third-ranked Missouri held on for a 36-28 win over previously unbeaten number two Kansas and secured their spot in the Big 12 championship game.

Chase Daniel completed an incredible 40- of-49 passes for 361 yards and three touchdowns, with Danario Alexander handling eight receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown.

Missouri has now captured the conference's North Division and will take on Oklahoma next Saturday night in the Big 12 title game in San Antonio. The only loss for the Tigers this season was at Oklahoma, 41-31, on October 13.

Todd Reesing connected on 28-of-49 passes for 349 yards with a pair of TDs and two interceptions for the Jayhawks, who had their highest ranking in school history. Unfortunately, their drive for a national championship has come to a crashing halt.

With Kansas' loss, Hawaii remains the lone unbeaten team at the Football Bowl Subdivision level.
