No. 4 Southern California's loss Friday night to No. 12 Utah has already brought No. 5 Ohio State back into the College Football Playoff mix. As of Saturday afternoon, No. 6 Alabama reentered the playoff debate as No. 10 Kansas State threatened to expand upon an already double-digit lead in the Big 12 championship game against No. 3 TCU.
But this is TCU, and one thing we've learned during this wildly unexpected march toward an unbeaten season is to never count out Max Duggan and the Horned Frogs.
By reversing Kansas State's 21-10 lead in the third quarter and forcing overtime, TCU might've done enough to keep the Crimson Tide at bay and remain part of the playoff.
