Todd Reesing threw a touchdown pass to Kerry Meier with 27 seconds left to give Kansas a 40-37 win over No. 12 Missouri on Saturday at Kansas City, Mo.

The Tigers will still play for the Big 12 Conference title, but they’ll do so coming off a hard-fought loss to their border rivals.

The Jayhawks (7-5, 4-4) led by 16 early in the third quarter, let Missouri (9-3, 5-3) back in it, then traded touchdowns with the Tigers in the fourth quarter before Reesing found Meier.

Reesing finished 37 for 51 for 375 yards with two interceptions, throwing two touchdown passes to Meier and one each to Dezmon Briscoe and Dexton Fields.

Missouri’s Chase Daniel had 391 total yards and threw for four touchdowns but also had two interceptions and a fumble and was sacked for a safety in the second quarter. Jermey Maclin had nine catches for 123 yards and a touchdown, and tight end Chase Coffman caught two touchdown passes for the Tigers.

Missouri had taken a 37-33 lead with 1:50 left on a six-yard TD run by Derrick Washington.

No. 7 Texas Tech 35, Baylor 28: Graham Harrell capped a 21-point rally with a touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter and the Red Raiders (11-1, 7-1) kept their hopes for a Big 12 South title alive with a victory over the visiting Bears (4-8, 2-6) at Lubbock.
