Directly from the NCAA Rulebook

8-6-1-b
b. A kick becomes dead by rule behind the defending team’s goal line and the attacking team is responsible for the ball being there (Exception: Rule 8-4-2-b) (A.R. 6-3-4-III).

8-7-2-a
Initial Impetus
ARTICLE 2. a. The impetus imparted by a player who kicks, passes, snaps or fumbles the ball shall be considered responsible for the ball’s progress in any direction even though its course is deflected or reversed after striking the ground or after touching an official or a player of either team (A.R. 6-3-4-III; A.R. 8-5-1-II, VI and VIII; and A.R. 8-7-2-I-IV).

The officials got it right and every announcer, including Kiffin and Chizik got it wrong.

There is a reason it was only reviewed once and no call to go into a delayed review .

Let's go to Rule 6 "Kicks," Section 1 "Free Kicks," Article 7 "Ball Dead in Endzone":

Ball Dead in End Zone
ARTICLE 7. a. When a free kick untouched by Team B touches the ground on or behind Team B’s goal line, the ball becomes dead and belongs to Team B.b. If the result of the free kick is a touchback (Rule 8-6) for Team B, they will put the ball in play at their 25-yard line.

Well, it didn’t slow them down there, they are still writing articles about how we were given the game again. In both cases, once the whistle is blown the play is dead.
