Don't bring that whiny bullshite in here. This fricking call might have cost us a national title.

Did anyone notice that an almost identical situation came up in one of the games Saturday? I think it might have been BYU-Utah. A DB swatted the ball just before it arrived at the receiver, while the receiver was being interfered with by another DB. The call on the field was pass interference, but on replay they saw that the other DB tipped the ball BEFORE the PI occurred. That was the deciding factor. That directly contradicts the result in the '06 Auburn game when the PI clearly occurred before the ball was tipped, but the PI was waved off because the after-the-fact tipping of the ball supposedly would have made the ball uncatchable even if PI hadn't occurred. Timing of the tip was deemed irrelevant by the SEC officials, even though the rule makes that the crucial issue.
