Loss to Kansas State puts TCU's College Football Playoff fate in committee's hands

ARLINGTON, Texas — Inches. Maybe less. Maybe an inch. That's all Texas Christian needed Saturday, multiple times.

The third-ranked Horned Frogs came up short against Kansas State, and now they pray it doesn't cost them a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Kansas State staged a goal-line stand in overtime, then Ty Zentner kicked a 31-yard field goal to give the Wildcats a 31-28 victory at AT&T Stadium, and the drama of Saturday sets up the drama of Sunday.
