In an article explaining how Kansas/TCU was picked for the Primetime Nationally Televised game on Fox this week:
They knew the "best" BDF matchup this week of tu/Okie Lite would have been a ratings disaster up against those two other games, so they conceded the week.
Oh, BDF... you never stop providing humorous entertainment for the rest of CFB world. Never change*
*Yes, I know, you can't change... but I thought I'd throw you a bone. /no

Here is where we get to perhaps the biggest reason KU finds itself in this unfamiliar slot.
Other nationally-televised games airing at the same time as KU's contest Saturday include No. 19 Michigan at No. 2 Penn State (ABC) and No. 11 Southern Cal at No. 13 Notre Dame (NBC). With those massive showdowns likely to pull huge numbers, it may have been prudent for FOX to put its best Big 12 matchups earlier in the afternoon against less imposing opposition.
