Oklahoma State-TCU turned into a thrilling game after it appeared No. 8 Oklahoma State would run away with it when jumping out to a 17-point lead.

TCU roared back and won in two overtimes, 43-40.

Not to be outdone by the scene at Rocky Top, the Horned Frogs' faithful took to the field after the team's biggest win in years.

TCU (6-0, 3-0 in Big 12) is in first and the conference's best chance at making the College Football Playoff this season.

Per TCU: This is the first time in history the Horned Frogs have defeated a top 25 opponent in three consecutive games.

That the game was reaching its crescendo at the same time No. 6 Tennessee was going toe-to-toe with No. 3 Alabama was an added boon to football fans.

These games are just on another level right now

49-49 between #3 Alabama and #6 Tennessee

37-37 in OT between #8 Ok State and #13 TCU

College Football is simply the best

Any other week, TCU's win would be front-page news. Tennessee's win ensured they would take top billing. But with first-year head coach Sonny Dykes and quarterback Max Duggan transforming the Horned Frogs into contenders they'll have plenty more opportunities. They host No. 17 Kansas State next week and travel to No. 22 Texas on Nov. 12.

The Horned Frogs won five games all of last season. Just like the fans that stormed the field, they weren't supposed to be here. Now that they are, let's enjoy the show.
