How can that be right?

It seems like they rewarded NC by calling the penalty. I guess you don't need time outs anymore on offense, just have too many men on the field and spike it. Shouldn't they have run time off the clock or is that in the NFL? Also, shouldn't the clock have started as soon as the ref spotted the ball?
Seems to me that Tennessee got jobbed.

No, the refs got that right at the end of regulation.

It's amazing coaches haven't figured this out by now.

Yeah, I agree, I understand that the calls were correct, but there is no way that is right. I'm suprised no one takes advantage of this, run out of TOs, just keep jumping offsides.

He got the ball spiked before the clock ran out.

I ref'd in TX HS football -we used NCAA rules
The spike occured at :01, the spike is treated as an incomplete pass, so there is no 'hot' clock on the (referees) ready signal...clock starts on the snap
The extra players at the snap with :01 made no diff as far as the clock is concerned, the clock stopped because of the play, the penalty is assessed normally because the game was not 'over' ( but as close to being over as possible). The refs did a great job

They didn't get an extra play because of the penalty. He spiked it with 1 second left.

What Hotlanta said.
I'm pretty sure the 10 second runoff rule only applies if the clock would have normally been running after the play in question. They never runoff the 10 seconds after an incomplete pass, timeout, out of bounds, etc. It's done that way so that if the offense can't otherwise stop the clock and the clock is running, they don't just commit a penalty to stop the running clock.
So since they spiked the ball, stopping the clock with 1 second left, the refs assess the penalty but don't run off the 10 seconds because the clock wouldn't be running.
It seems pretty fricked up in this situation but I think it's right.
