When it happened real time I saw it as a drop, in slow-mo it looked like a catch then the defender knocked it loose. When they played it again at full speed there's no way it was a catch. If you imagine the scenario where the receiver is in the end zone, would he have had possession long enough to signal a TD? I don't think so.

We would have beaten Florida with replay. The Gafney catch was BS. When was this? 2000? Jesse Palmer QB.

No guarantee we would’ve won they would’ve kicked the FG to tie it and it would’ve gone to overtime.

I thought they said at the time that the ruling on the field was a catch and a fumble, so don't they have to have clear evidence otherwise to overturn it?

No, in cases of a potential fumble they allow the play to continue and review with replay to correct the call, if necessary. At least that’s what I heard the supervisor of officials say. I believe it was Shaw.

This is how I felt about it too. Watching it in real motion, I thought there was no way that was a catch. What's a catch and what's not a catch is so murky. It's the most problematic part of football officiating. They're not calling it a TD if he's in the endzone, that's for damn sure.

Calvin Johnson said it wouldn’t have been a TD either.

They won a national championship on a bad call versus Miami. This game only part Way makes up for that call. I believe I would pull for North Korea if they played OSU.

Definitely one of the worst PI calls in history, flag came in way way late and was an absolute garbage call. I'm no Miami fan, but that call definitely cost them a championship.

Ohio St has nobody to blame but themselves. 3 fgs instead of tds in the 1st half, and their offense stalled in the 2nd half. I thought all the calls were the right call. although the completion/fumble call was close.(prob should have stayed a fumble since it was called that way on the field) I thought it was incomplete in real time. Things get skewed when you replay it in slow motion.

Agreed. Maybe a couple of questionable calls if you choose to really look at them. But, not coming away with TD's instead of those field goals. Had those drives ended differently, they would have killed Clemson. They let them hang around when they could have ended the game in 2 quarters. Can't let Clemson hang. they will eventually do something, and it will come fast.

And I think it is correct way to handle those plays. If they do blow the whistle, there's no replay.

That is exactly the way the officials are trained. Let the play go, then review it.

Ross's forward progress was stopped before the ball came out. If it was a catch, the ball was dead as soon as he was driven backwards.

Either way it's 4th down and Clemson punts.

Report: College football's officiating coordinator says Ohio State's fumble return TD shouldn't have been overturned

Lol - welcome to SEC officiating. The national coordinator of officials didn’t say squat about the screw job we got against Bama, yet he comments on a single call in the OSU game. It’s the playoffs, I get it, but still. I’m certainly not going to to care about OSU tears, but part of me gets satisfaction that they got the screw job we seem to get every week we play a top SEC team. Welcome to the club.

Bama Shaw hasn’t and won’t comment on the OSU call it appears.

Officiating as a whole has sucked this year. Mistakes will be made and nobody expects perfection, but if they would be more transparent about consequences and accountability it would go a long way. And I still don’t like the appearance of impropriety with the office being in Birmingham.

That 2002 Ohio State national championship team was also probably the worst championship team of my lifetime. They were probably only the 4th best team in the country that year. Both them and Miami coasted on easy schedules, while both Georgia (#3) and USC (#4) played tougher schedules and were much better teams. Then they had the title game handed to them by a bad call.

If the playoff had existed back then, Georgia beats Miami and USC beats Ohio State in the semis. USC probably would've won the title.

The targeting call was not nor should it be controversial in that case. It was obvious. Herbie's excitement and piling on by his booth costar concerning the catch/fumble/TD call is really the only reason people are squawking IMO. They hyped it but the on site professional of their network pumped he brakes fairly early and he was the one correct, not the voice cracking hanky using Homie Herbstreit.

USC wouldn’t have been in the playoffs. Washington State won the P10 and beat SC head to head. Playoffs would have been:
1. Miami
2. Ohio State
3. Georgia
4. Iowa

Piss on Ohio State and their crying fan base !

Bottom line is this ... Clemson put the ball in the end zone when they absolutely had to, Clemson got stops on defense when they absolutely had to. Ohio State did neither. There is your difference maker.

and Clemson was the better overall team, I'm not entertaining any of the OSU BS about that was the most talented college team in the USA.
