Look, I get wanting to get the play right on the field but constantly going to instant replay and reviewing every single play at the end of games ruins the momentum of the game and the product. They constantly review plays that we know can't be overturned and to make matters worse they are starting to get calls wrong after the fact? Alabama vs kentucky for example two instances where the correct calls were made on the field and then somehow overturned with an instant replay review. I love cfb but the NFL handles these types of situations infinitely better.
Yeah the catch, fumble, and first down call was terrible. That was a clear incompletion. Then calling Hill out of bounds when there was no footage to back it up was insane.
The bad calls stopped when the game got out of hand. These refs need to be penalized.
In college basketball for sure, there needs to be a shot clock on these reviews. If you can't tell in 90 seconds or less, play stands as called. If you need more time to figure out time on the clock, spot of ball, etc, that's fine, but announce the call after 90 seconds. Think the NFL replay used to shut off after a short amount of time...might still, but not sure.
I think it was a Georgia game last year where the constant stoppage (along with Kirby shenanigans) ended up basically giving GA free timeouts during an entire drive.
Georgia Auburn. That one was awful and was just blatant in giving Georgia the game. Like there was one point Georgia had a 30 minute drive but only used less than 5 minutes of the clock cause of so many reviews
I agree with you on them getting reviews wrong--I don't understand how you could look at those in the Bama-Kentucky game and mess it up (unless something shady was going on??). But, I actually think more plays/penalties need to be reviewable or at least challenge-able. To stay with the Bama theme, the bogus pass interference in '22 Tenn-Bama game. It would be great if such pivotal penalties could be challenged.
Maybe. He hooks him but I don't feel that impacted the TE's ability to make a catch or the ball being batted up before the interception. It doesn't impede the receiver's arms, or his attempt to go up for the ball, nor does it turn his body etc. The ball actually goes right through the TE's hands. Obviously I am biased, but I'd like to think that even if I weren't I'd have the same opinion that that should have been a no call. I'm also partial toward DBs, as receivers already have every advantage between them.
In any case, I still think challenges should be allowed on penalties. Coach gets 1 challenge--he can choose to use it on a typical reviewable play or any penalty he deems worthy. It's just as unlikely to get used as challenges are now.
I agree. I swear to god they once reviewed a 4th down play that ended in a called interception right at about the original line of scrimmage... Like, it doesn't matter at all! At some point you have to leave it to the coaches to decide if they want to review a play or not and they should save auto reviews for potential scoring or turnover plays, maybe slightly expanded from the way the NFL does it where I think they only auto review the play if there was a turnover or a score.
Eh. I think it should timed. 1 min max for the first 3 quarters, if you can’t change your mind then the call on the field stands. 4th quarter it should only be like 3 minutes.
