The first one was the correct call -- Auburn definitely got it -- and the second one probably wasn't. It happens.

Pereria last night on Fox was making a fool of himself
It looks like you used his reasoning

What's bad is that the second one was reviewed extensively and none of the refs knew the "first foot down" part of the rule. I wouldn't expect a lot of fans to know it (hell I didn't, always thought it was the tie to the receiver deal) but when a whole booth who is there to specifically interpret and apply the rules doesn't it's pretty bad.

Word. As as fan of the game, It's nice to know the official rule in this particular scenario. I knew abt sim. catch just not this part.

Let’s look at the NCAA Rule Book, Part 2, under "interpretations'' for the answer. Under the Completed Pass, Article 6, rule 7-3-6, section 2: Two opposing players receive a legal forward pass while both are off the ground, and one payer returns to the ground inbounds before the other. Ruling: No simultaneous catch. The legal forward pass is completed or intercepted by the player who first returned to the ground.
