Sooner or later lady luck will turn witchy, You know she will, but according to Old Blue Eyes se la vie.

I placed $500 that TCU will make the PO's.

This "find a way to win" is baloney. There are but two ways to win. You execute the plays you practiced that ends with positive yardage that either allows you to score or stop the opponent from scoring.

The other is Luck. Luck is how a field goal bounces off upright. Either way it goes it's luck, aka chance.

So, was TCU's game winning FG the successful execution of a fire drill run during practice and/or was luck /chance involved as well?

God I love a good mystery. :)

I think the only question left, at this juncture, is if a 13-0 TCU gets fucked.

We are now at the point in the season (and have seen a couple already -- and one called out publicly (write that check, Bret)) where the conference refs start getting riggy for "certain teams".

I think that's a good bet, especially if you got decent odds on it.
