By the time it gets to the leagues to admit officiating mistakes, they can't overturn it. What were they supposed to do? They don't look at it until after the game, at the earliest. Should they have put the 1:47 back on the clock and called the teams back out from the locker rooms? Or, maybe Minnesota was already on the plane. Or maybe they're already back home. Call them back to AA?

Yes.

I thought that's why they introduced video review - just noticing that there are more cameras - and more ways top check sideline/goalline issues when the big networks are covering the games instead of BTN. As for accountable - law suits and lynch mobs would follow. No thank you.

Problem is, so many of these huge misses are on plays that are "unreviewable." Make everything that potentially impacts the outcome of the game reviewable. Until they do that, these issues will continue.

That reminds me - there was an interception *ichigan had against Minnesota near the end of the first half. It was right on the sideline. The official ruled in bounds, but there was no angle that showed definitively that he was out, so the "call stands". In that whole stadium, there's only 3 cameras? And they're all at field level on the other side of the field? I thought that was BS.



They called this in bounds, with really no other good camera angle to review it.

He didn’t even have possession. At any rate, TCUN ended up punting anyways so it didn’t hurt Minnesota any.

What did hurt Minnesota was their decision to rush the field goal team onto the field. They should’ve ran up to the ball and did a QB sneak.

I'm concerned games would last six hours if they did that. They really need to speed up the review process.

Yeah agreed. Having certain calls reviewable in crucial games, or with under 2 minutes to go would be helpful but also inevitably fucked up. Why referees and the offices they communicate with during don't have a time limit for these reviews is beyond me. Especially with the necessary "indisputable video evidence" portion of the rule that's rarely adhered to. If you're staring at the same 3-4 angles for more than a couple minutes, the play should stand.

Officiating seems like it's gotten worse and worse this year.

With the expanded playoff conferences are doing all they can to try to stack as many teams into it as they can, so look out for a ton more of ref screwjobs of games involving supposed playoff contenders against teams that aren't playoff contenders.

This.

The entire sport is a mess. It's impossible to take it seriously at this point. You have this officiating nonsense. The ridiculous realignment that's happened over the last few years killing great rivalries, traditions, and the pageantry. Players being essentially mercenaries for hire. Then you have those jizz mops up north totally compromising the authenticity of the playoffs the last 3 years. CFB is not the sport I once loved above all others...by a lot.

Exactly. I’ve seen games on several networks that don’t have cameras on all of the sidelines and endlines.

The networks are paying big bucks to show the games, part of their responsibilities should be having enough cameras to allow decent relay views on things like was a guy in bounds or did he step on the line.

I don‘t need a little green laser line to mysteriously appear on the replay image when they need a call to be overturned against tOSU, however.

ugh. the one time all half where they got near the endzone, and of course time is running out.

1) EVERYTHING needs to be reviewable.
2) get rid of TV timeouts. the clock stops enough already.

I’ve been yelling some version of this at the television during extended replay reviews for years. If it takes more than one minute to tell if it was called correctly, the evidence ain’t indisputable.
