Really, Texas?  You thought you were winning?

[Hairy Lime]

Wow. App State!

[Hairy Lime]

And Marshall!

No playoffs for Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie!

Is the Sunbelt Conf a power 5 now? and where did they dig up the officials for Texas / Alabama

[Hairy Lime]

Scott Frost seizes the early lead in the "Most Fired" contest. And Kirk Ferentz leads in the "Most Politely Elbowed Into Retirement" sweepstakes.

A great day for the Sun Belt Conference, while the Increasingly Inaccurately Named Big Ten lost all of its Power Five games. And who knew completely botching a safety call could have such an impact on the CFP race.

[Hairy Lime]

I am not sure if I forgot that Virginia was a P5 team, or that Illinois is in the Increasingly Inaccurately Named Big Ten.

Careful bro, if you trip, you'll pole vault right out the window.

Some really bad calls. But the eventual endzone call, I think, was the correct one. I could be wrong. My train of thought is this: Assuming there was no whistle before the Bama QB threw the ball. He wasn't down when he threw it, and it was deflected by a Texas player. So, no intentional grounding in the endzone. Just an incomplete pass. Had it not been deflected and wasn't intercepted it "might" of crossed the LOS. With the deflection that point is moot though. But to be truthful I really don't know the rule well enough to be sure I'm right or wrong.

But several pass interference calls and personal foul calls were missed as well as a ton of holding calls all over the field. Sloppy SLOPPY game for Bama. They looked like shit.

The deflection only matter if the throw was aimed at an eligible receiver, which it was not.

Alabama looked awful. And while I expect Satan to dry the sloppiness out of them, I would still worry about that WR room.

Where did they get the players and coaches who do not know the rules?

I think the NFL is better.
The QB was in the grasp and the logical result of that play would be a safety.

Kudos to the officials for sorting out the college rules even if they were confused at first.

[Hairy Lime]

Nebraska has cooled on Frost.

I assume you have proof or have seen proof of that, so I'll take your word for it.

I think that would be impossible to officiate.
In the Texas/Alabama Game the pass in question was thrown forward and almost immediately batted away to fall incomplete. No official can guess where it might have gone.
My only question is if the offense throws an incomplete pass in the end zone which does not travel beyond the end zone is it , by rule, intentional grounding?
I guess not.

Strange lists of names as potential replacements for Frost. They keep including people who already have good gigs, like Matt Campbell and Mark Stoops. I would think the Nebraska job would be awful. A has been program with a community that thinks they should still be great. A lot of pressure with a small chance of success. I suppose for Stoops, they could pitch the Increasingly Inaccurately Named Big Ten West as an easier road than the God's Conference East, but Nebraska is further away from even the expanded playoffs than Kentucky.
