Another week of college football, another pile or awesome highlights, tweets and other randomness.
Week 8 of the college football football didn't provide many thrilling finishes or big-time matchups living up to their hype, though it did provide clarity in conference and playoff races, along with a heap of incredible highlights, tweets and more.
From KaVontae Turpin's punt return to Eric Dungey's hurdle-kick, here is the best of Week 8.

Sooners Survive
The best game of the day was Oklahoma–Kansas State, where the Sooners fell behind by 14 points in the first half but came storming back in a thrilling second half, which was highlighted by Rodney Anderson's spectacular touchdown run in the final minute.

Disappearing Surrender Cobra
The last-minute touchdown prompted this K-State fan to give us a rare disappearing surrender cobra.

Cravens Blasts USC
Former USC player Su'a Cravens was not happy with the Trojans' lackadaisical game vs. Notre Dame, taking to Twitter to say, amongst other things, that they should give impermissible benefits to recruits.
It's unclear if he was actually serious.
Or let’s drop some bread on these recruits like every team in the SEC… oh yea, we only get punished for shit like that

Turpin Toys With Kansas
During TCU's demolition of Kansas (and that's being kind), Horned Frogs' receiver and return extraordinaire KaVontae Turpin had one of the most miraculous punt return touchdowns you'll ever see.

Harbaugh Can't Win the Big Ones
Michigan's blowout loss to Penn State on Saturday night was the latest loss for the Harbaugh regime to an elite opponent — or even a respectable opponent. He is 0-5 against .500 teams over the last 11 games.
Jim Harbaugh's record over his last 11 games? 6–5.
His record against winning (0.500 ) teams during that stretch? 0–5.

Let the Big Dog Eat!
Michigan State lineman Brian Allen laid a vicious block vs. Indiana, then stood over his victim in terrifying fashion.
Blocking a reverse means a lot of running for an O-lineman, but it paid off for my man #65 here. pic.twitter.com/uCMhug4XtA

Eric Dungey Channels Inner Antonio Brown
Eric Dungey's hurdle-kick vs. Miami wasn't as violent as Antonio Brown's punter kick a few years ago but it was still awesome.

Why Do Players Do This?
Why does anyone flip the bird to fans? But why is it especially popular among players who are getting throttled?
It happened twice on Saturday.

Cyclones!
Iowa State continued rolling with an impressive road win at Texas Tech, which — yes, it's still early — put them in contention for the Big 12 title.

Down Goes the Coach!
The Texas sideline was a little too lit during their near-upset of Oklahoma State. At one point, Longhorns' lineman Austin Allsup shoved an unidentified coach to the ground.

The Texas band was not having fun in the third quarter.

Wow!
The lone FCS highlight here, Bucknell's Colin Jonov gave Bucknell an overtime win with a 95-yard interception return.

You Sure?
In the second half of Penn State's dismantling of Michigan, most of the 110,000 folks in attendance at Beaver Stadium declared their desire to play Alabama.

West Virginia cornerback Corey Winfield may have been going after the football but his violent punch landed right on the head of this Baylor receiver.
