Man, SMU is trying to give this game away, but FSU can't take it.  The moveable object vs the resistible force.

Did replay officials make right call at end of Michigan vs Western Michigan?

Meh, a bunch of opinons, as usual.  I personally don't know except to note a second either way is so slight it is a dubious metric in such timing situations.

Not as much chatter about the egregious Notre Dame / Wisconsin ruling where the guy was clearly out of bounds before he had possession but the call wasn't overturned.  

It's good to be a shiny helmet.  

Although, Wisconsin deserves whatever foul things happened to them in that game in light of wearing those putrid uniforms.

I have some fading memories of calls made against the Dawgs that were awful, mostly before review.  They still have the L on their slate no matter the reason.

I usually believe officials have no "dog in the fight" and don't bias games with intent.  Fans forget calls that went their way of course.  This situation is ... odd, to me.  They went to review, OK fine, but was there "clear and obvious" information with which to overturn based on one second?

There were a few bad calls against UW in that game, including wearing those uniforms.

And Wisconsin’s shiny new QB doesn’t make the list.

Two calls in a row, the fumble “recovery” and the roughing call on the next play, but no impact on the game.

Has to be an oversight.  He threw enough passes, and scored better than some of those guys

No Washington either.  Guessing the list was posted after Saturday's games
