I've seen a lot posted, but nobody has explained it.

They overturned a call that probably was too close to overturn.

But it was super fricking close.

And everyone is freaking out.

Of course now everyone is saying the game was rigged because of that one close call.

Did you see UF/ARK?

Did you think there was no way the officiating could be worse or more biased?

If so, you were wrong.

eta: The call was not even close. Foot clearly drags in the end zone while the receiver has possession of the ball. Freeze it, move it in slow motion, do whatever you want and it doesn't change that it was a catch called correctly on the field that absolutely no one thought should be overturned. Other than the Big 10 apparently.

And it was much more than just that one call.

That was the call everyone is freaking out about.

The Big Ten commissioner on speed dial and called into the booth said to over turn it.

It's some pretty intense shite. Goes all the way to the BCS and NCAA conspiracy as well.

Officiating is fricking hard and human error comes into play as well.

Probably should not have been overturned but then again probably would not have been overturned if the call on the field was different either.

Was this before half, I saw that and thought it was incomplete. Indiana scored on the next play. Did the refs call back an Indiana td in the 2nd half?

The ref was RIGHT THERE and called it a TD. Then there was not enough evidence to overturn it. Terrible over turn.

Was it a suspended SEC crew?

All kidding aside, the refs have a tough job and do make mistakes. Replay is supposed to correct that but it doesn't always happen. I sure wouldn't want their job or that of an umpire.
