10 Second Runoff Rule

I have yet to understand when this applies and when it doesn't. It seems like it is subjectively applied in under 1 minute game situations. I have read the rule but based on what I have seen there is no consistency in its application. For example, the 2016 Auburn LSU game comes to mind. Why did LSU's illegal shift penalty not warrant a 10 second runoff?
Am I not understanding something about this rule or is it as arbitrarily applied as it appears to me?

But the receiver was never set, so it should have been a false start resulting in a ten second runoff, no?

If he was never set, then it wasn't a false start.

False, if the receiver never lines up it should be a false start.

That would have been the call if the clock had not ran out. Officials never threw the flag, but the game was over when the official mark the ball.

Im referring to the play that ended with 0:01 left on the clock. Not the would be Chark TD pass that was reversed due to no time left. The officials called the penalty and set the ball when instead it should have been a false start, 10 second runoff, and the end of the game. LSU should never have had the chance to get the snap off with 1 second left.

Y'all both correct. As per Rule 7 Section 1, AR 2-A-V, that's an illegal shift, but it converts to a false start.

So why no runoff in this situation? Again, for a rule that has such a substantial impact it seems so convoluted and arbitrary.

Honestly, this post just magnifies the fact that our lack of full time officials is painful. The number of rules needed to keep track of basically makes it a full time job.
