Absolutely no way that should have been overturned.

ACC protected the team that mattered.

 

[SeventhSon]

Refs made a business decision.

 

[IASTATE07]

I'm not sure how you overturn that.

 

[packattack425]

God that makes me nervous if Iowa state is ever in a replay situation like that

 

[ISU_Guy]

Woah, That’s an Iowa state type of call there. Feel bad for VT

 

[Prone2Clone]

That was something.

 

[MushroomPinball]

$$$$$$$$

 

[HFCS]

Oh that is weeeeeeeeak as F to overturn. Welcome to the new playoff era!

Highly suspicious.

 

[Gorm]

The optics of this is baaaaaaaaad. The narrative is going to be that the ACC fixed this.

 

[StLouisClone]

That's the 2nd time the replay refs changed the call in Miami's favor

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Not sure how you reverse that. That's refs who want to get out alive. Unreal

 

[Cyched]

I don’t think they had enough to overturn. But calling it a TD seemed a little flimsy.

Either way they weren’t going to rule against Miami at home.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

That is a BS call, fix is in.

Yeah but it will be forgotten by tomorrow right unfortunately. People and media move on quick.

 

[gypsyroad]

A few interesting non-flag calls that went Miami's way in that game.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Maybe Va Tech should have just kicked that field goal earlier...

 

[cyclones500]

The on-field call might've been incorrect, but I'm not sure how you overturn it. Coin-flip goes to the initial decision

 

[HFCS]

It was two coin flip decisions.

Time and time again, sometimes evidence has to be indisputable to overturn and other times if can just be feelings.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

I think that was the right call honestly, buuuut playing pretty fast and loose with the “indisputable video evidence”

 

[KidSilverhair]

To me this is a misapplication of review.

You can think the ball wasn’t secured; but there’s absolutely no clear and convincing video evidence to reverse the call. I think the call on the field was probably wrong, but if you use the stated video review procedure, overturning that call is not correct.

This reminds me of the early days of review, when officials would pull this all the time (we’re gonna reverse the call on the field because it feels wrong, not because there’s actual clear and convincing evidence against it).
