re: What really happens in the SEC replay booth

esp. when the doubt may be created in the mind of the official only. the refs on the field didn't even know PP caught the ball. that is probably what created the doubt. the SEC office itself said the job of the replay official is to DEFEND the ruling on the field and to DEFER to the officials on the field. DEFEND and DEFER sounds like they will not change field rulings except on certain types of plays that are obvious enough to get laughed at the next day. We didn't have a chance with this attitude. the refs on the field were blocked out and did NOT see the play. that's why they called no interception; they did not see it. in that case, the replay booth MUST MAKE THE CALL, not DEFEND and DEFER. we got screwed and the SEC and their officials need to prepare of these contingencies ie what happens when the refs simply do not see the play.
