Here's another thing to point out that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere. Many are speculating that during the whole trash fiasco, the refs were wathcing the video board and saw the replay and at that point decided they messed up and then decided to waive off the flag.
Around the 1 minut emark of the linked clip there's contact; whether it warratned a flag idk but you can at least see that there was contact between the 2 players. However, in the stadium the board operator used some selective editing to exclude that. What set the crowd into a frenzy to begin with (and start the bottle throwing) was them showing the play on the big board AFTER the contact; so basically what teh stadium saw was simply 2 guys, not touching, standing next to each other with the DB catching a ball thrown right to him. From that perspective sure it looks awful btu that didn't paint the whole picture.
I know many people have talked about how it's a bad precedent that if you don' like a call just throwr shite and mayeb it'll change...but what I haven't seen mentioned yet is how now your fricking video board operator can creatively select what angles or what moments to show that reinforce the view of the home crowd. Which is also scary.

Maybe Vegas needs to price in a little more than 3 points for home field advantage

I was just going to mention that. Should in stadium video be cut for any penalty, until next snap? The play can’t be reviewed yet its almost a certainty the refs watched the video and it influenced their reversal.

I have seen several say the play wasn't PI, but the Texas player blocked the Georgia player while already facing the QB. Once he stopped and redirected the UGA player, it was easy for him to see the ball and the rest is history.
If it wasn't PI, then nothing is PI short of tackling the receiver.

You are spot on. The TV never showed the field angle where the Texas DB grabbed the UGA receiver's jersey as he came out of the route. Disgusting all around.

Oh dude come on. The process was horrible, I think everyone can agree but there was no editing involved lol. It wasn’t a penalty

PI is not reviewable though. So if they looked at the video board, that’s a defacto form of review. Plus the officials set the ball and awarded UGA possession prior to the arse showing. All of this equals gross negligence of the rules by the guys that are supposed to uphold them.
