If NEB had the ball (same play), would they have one sec?

Face it, every conference has their favorites, not just the SEC. If Nebraska had the ball and ran the same play, I seriously doubt that the one second would be reinstated.

it was a pretty obvious call. the ball hit the turf with one second left. wasn't questionable in my opinion.

Maybe so, but that is not what I am posing here. The play clock read 0:00 - Texas along the officiating got that second reinstated. Would a lesser ranked team, having the upset ability, get the same opportunity as Texas did.

This decision is directly tied to the officials and the efforts of the Texas football coach, plain and simple. Regardless if it was the correct call or not, what I am trying to say is that Nebraska would most probably not been given the benefit of the doubt had they ran the same exact play because:

They had no shot of going to the BCS Championship Game like Texas did.

Play clock was not running, if I remember. The replay showed only the game clock? Anyway, from the replay, it was pretty obvious there should be time even though I was hoping for the opposite. My question was "WHAT IS HE DOING...HE IS RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK!!!!"

I know. I was actually hoping he would keep running, then try to heave it out of bounds. He did not know which clock to look at. Course, the kicker did not do Bo any favors by drilling the KO out of bounds.....

I doubt very much that they would have even reviwed that if it was Nebraska on offense. And if they did they would have probably said not indisputable evidence to overturn or something like that.

Texas is and always was a "favorite." No way in hell that anybody else gets that second back. Today...geaux TCU - jump their asses in the BCS.

First, this was not the referees showing favoritism. If the pass was completed and the player fell to the ground it would have allowed the clock to run out, same as LSU v. Ole Miss. Tolliver was down with three seconds but the clock runs as a player is downed.

The real question is why would Texas be throwing on first, second, and third down, losing three yards and taking a chance to lose more yards and run the clock out?

This was far worse than Miles' decision. Of course, that is no longer a question because the field goal was made. The consequences of these decisions were probably taking 10 million dollars in payouts and countless receipts for the value of a NC, should they win. The face no one for Alabama as good as that Nebraska DT.

Money is not the issue. The Big 12 could have had 2 teams in BCS games. The conference took a hit with the Texas victory but maybe a chance to win a national championship is worth 13 mil to some people. But after watching the game I seriously doubt if either team could beat the best of the SEC.
