TCU’s thrilling overtime victory over Oklahoma State is sure to switch things up in the Top 10 as the Horned Frogs took control of the Big 12.

TCU and Oklahoma State came into Saturday knowing they would be in a dogfight for an edge in the Big 12 standings.

The matchup lived up to the hype as they slugged it out in a game decided by overtime.

The Horned Frogs scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to force the extra football, then won it with a Kendre Miller score in the second overtime period.

What does that result mean for each team and their rankings?

TCU and Oklahoma State turned out to be evenly matched in the end, so their rankings could just flip.

The Horned Frogs could rise even further if USC and Clemson can’t take care of their business in tough matchups on Saturday night. Ole Miss’s inability to put away Auburn should give TCU room to jump them.

The Cowboys could fall a few more spots but their loss is better than Oregon’s, so keeping them in front of the inactive Ducks feels right.
