The real issue is nothing in the rule book is written in a way that doesn't require interpretation.

From the 2023 NCAA Rule Book (2024 isn't available freely online so that's why I'm using 2023), source: https://taso.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/2023-NCAA-Football-Rule-Book.pdf
Either way ya slice it the ref made the wrong call.

Because if Williams was covered up and not at the end of his scrimmage line then as @jave36 pointed out you call Ineligible Receiver Downfield as soon as the pass is thrown.

But waiting to see who touches the ball first and then calling illegal touching would imply Williams stepped out at that's why they flagged it, but again according to DeBoer he was told it was because Williams was covered up.

Good find, I never can find the NCAA rule book easily. I'm saving that link for sure.

And you're exactly right, waiting to see if he touched it would imply Williams stepped out, which he obviously didn't (you'd see one of the officials throw his hat if that happened).

Either way you slice it, the official really screwed up. I think @Tennessee Golfer actually hit the nail on the head by saying the OU sideline convinced him of something that didn't happen, which would explain why he didn't throw the flag right away because he was thinking it over in his head.

The first job of the committee going back to its founding is to figure out how to get Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson and/or Georgia into the playoff. From there it is name schools like Texas, Notre Dame and/or Michigan. Others must wait in line and until those teams are settled, and nothing is guaranteed.

Okay fair point Peter... and the blowout loss to Ole Miss? Where Sellers played the entire game?

I started this post to prove USCe's losses are the 'best' in the SEC's rung of 3 loss teams...only to prove that theory wrong. Mizzou actually has the 'best losses', but 2/3 are recent. And no big wins.

3 loss SEC teams losses and best W:

USCe: @ 7 Alabama, 12 Ole Miss, 16 LSU -- best W: 10 A&M
Bama: @ 11 UT, @ andy, @ Oklahoma -- best W: 2 Georgia
A&M: @ Auburn, @ USCe, 7 ND -- best W 8 LSU / 9 Mizz
Mizz: @ 21 USCe, @ 15 Alabama, @ 25 A&M -- best W: 24 BC
Ole Miss: Florida, @ 13 LSU, Kentucky -- best W: 3 Georgia

Those rankings are from the time of the game...


Bama: best W, 2 of the 3 worst losses in the group (vandy, oklahoma blowout, Ole Miss's L to KY is 3rd), only getting in due to name recognition
USCe: valid argument
Ole Miss: Outside shot: KY loss was bad. FL looks bad on the outside, but they've improved over the year.
A&M: No shot. loss to Auburn was bad. Other 2 could've been overlooked.
Mizz: No shot. Haven't beaten anyone to earn a bid.


Sucks to be them! On the outside looking in.

Still think the 2 back to back terrible calls in Auburn game were far worse, but ya know Bama bias on ESPN.

I think Ole Miss will get less hate for Kentucky loss. They drove down the field and had Davis setup for a 48 yard field goal attempt that he missed. Also it was a September game. They also have the "style" points that Mizzou, South Carolina and A&M all lack.

Ole Miss is 1st in SEC in ppg (just ahead of us, go figure) and 3rd in SEC in points allowed (just behind us).

I'd honestly like to see what South Carolina would do as a 12 seed going to Penn State or Ohio State. Could be a fun one to watch with how good their DL is.

How long do you think you could survive in the amazon with nothing but what you have on and in your pockets right now + 1 item of your choice? What item are you choosing?

2-3 days. Would need to build a basecamp up off the ground. Will need water, and a way to boil it.

Machete with slide out flintlock.

Get those things, and game on. Maybe 2 weeks if no real long sustained rain. Get trench foot and its game over.
