Texas wins that game and that buys BYU 3 weeks of avoiding the "soft schedule" narrative by the national media. Why 3 weeks? Because with Texas' bye week, and a game vs Kansas next week, their next likely loss would not have come until 3 weeks after the UCLA game. In the meantime, we would have a chance to add a 2nd validating win to our resume with Virginia, while also allowing time for teams like BSU and Houston to reboost their records before anyone thought twice to take another glance at BYU's schedule. Thanks Longhorns.
