Nobody has mentioned the Oklahoma/Oregon onside kick fiasco too.

End of the game, Oregon onside kicks the ball, touches it before it goes 10 yards, Oklahoma recovers it anyway.

Somehow the refs award the ball to Oregon, who go on to score a last minute TD to win.

They review it, but the replay official deems the "touching before 10 yards" too close to call, and even though they see Oklahoma actually recovered the ball, that wasn't the specific reason for the review so they didn't overturn that.

That was like in the first year or two of instant replay and it quickly lead to a change in the rules, where if a play went for review all aspects of the play can be reviewed, not just the specific aspect they wanted to look at.

Also, from 2011, Toledo vs. Syracuse, Syracuse scored late to go ahead 2 and then badly missed the extra point that would have made it 3.... only the refs called the missed extra point good.

They REVIEWED it and somehow let it stand, even though replays show it was clearly missed.

It was dumbfounding in that the refs not only somehow got the extra point call wrong but an obviously replay also missed it.

And yes it did cost Toledo the game, they drove down and kicked a FG to force OT where they later lost, when it should have won the game instead.

Defender in front of the pass tipped it, because of that the defender defending the receiver could make all the contact he wanted with the receiver, and pass interference can not be called

The single most blatantly blown call in history is the the mark, the first down call after the fake punt that led-up to the Clowney hit which led to the Ace TD ...

video mash here

Yeah it's pretty inexcusable the ref blew that live, however at least in that case they correctly reviewed it and called it good.

The imaginary first down awarded to Michigan last year was pretty spectacularly awful, sadly however it's not even close to the most blown call in history. A call involving inches, while clearly incorrect, is obviously not as bad as a call involving 5 yards, like in the OP.

I don't think that's how the rule works in the Auburn LSU case

Early Doucet was tackled before the ball was tipped and prevented from coming back to the ball or reaching out for it.

Anyone who thinks that wasn't PI is ridiculous. And it being a blown call isn't the worst part, its the fact that it was reviewed and upheld.

Exactly.

Auburn fans living in la la land as per usual but I guess they are just 2-7 against Les so they have to cling to one of those rare rare wins against LSU.

except it needs to be a catchable ball in order to be PI

ie ball goes way out of bounds you can touch the WR all day because the ball is uncatchable

Isn't the tipped ball and uncatchable rule to keep out PI because of timing and the disruption of the ball? Like if a ball is horribly overthrown and the WR gives up but the DB runs into him.

How is a ball uncatchable if it's within a few feet of a WR? And what's to keep a DB from trucking a WR and simply smacking the ball out of the air? Welp, tipped ball, uncatchable.

What if ole Gil tackled him like that AND tipped the ball like DBs tend to do? Would that be PI?
