OSU's missed Field Goal

I thought it was good at first (a little hope on my part). But I'm not sure. I sure wish ESPN could have given a better view...
Refs both called it no good rather quickly...I'd say they had the best view and they would know best...should be absolutely no controversy. Replays looked no good as well.
The live shot from the back of the kicker looked to be wide by quite a margin. The shot from the back of the end zone made it look a lot closer. I'd have to see it again but wasn't the camera off to the side as opposed to right in the center? Paralax?
The rule is that if it's directly over, then it's good. To me, it looked directly over.
Not that I care.

Thank you. Parallax indeed. The camera was behind and, I think, slightly outside of the goalpost. Seeing the ball directly behind the top tip of the goalpost means it was in front of the goalpost and slightly inside. Knowing that it was clearly moving away from the center line, I can definitely say that -- we can't tell anything except that it was very close from the camera shot.
Thing is, in OSU history, this will go down as the big missed call. Just like ours against Alabama. Only this one was bigger. Seeing it on Replay, I still wouldn't say it was in. It was close, but I wouldn't say it was a blown call.
The karma going on during this game was amazing to me. And nothing loomed larger than that kick, under the shadow of the 2001 Tony Yelk kick against Alabama. I honestly couldn't tell if this one was good, but it was certainly close and Karma was on our side, for once.
Found this online. And since everything online is true thought I needed to post it.
On a side note, funny how you can watch football for decades and not know nuances in the rules like this...

Yes. As I recall, the official stands directly under the upright, and if any part of the ball is visible on the outside edge of the upright, the fg or ep is NOT good. Stands to reason, since the official can't see the inside edge of the upright because of the crossbar.
Funny that it got to the point where it was horrific and Rhoads had his blow up on the side lines. Since then the games have seemded to have been well officiated. No more made up penalties and no more calling penalties on ISU then letting the other team do the exact same thing the next drive without a flag.
I think the officiating crews got a talking to at some point.
It shouldn't have mattered because the touchdown throw to Reynolds should not have been ruled incomplete.

I wouldn't say absolutely, but the point of the ball did touch the ground, so I can't argue that they got it wrong. I think he had control, and the ball touching was incidental to that, but after being called incomplete on the field, they certainly couldn't overturn it.
I don't understand why there are so many people claiming it looked good, when we haven't seen ANY camera angle that is as good as where the ref is standing. Clearly it was very close either way, but I haven't seen anything to make me think that I had a better angle than the ref.
