Winners celebrate, losers whine about “rules” and “lining up punter at wide receiver” being “unfair”.
Game is over.
Score is not changing.
Over 150 plays in the football game.
Everyone of them matters.
All close games have plays that go one way or the other. Officials, players, and coaches are not perfect.
Enjoy the rest of the season.
We are blessed to live where football is possible.

You're simply not being honest if you think the clock stopping long enough to move the chains then restarting would be enough time to get the kick off.
Not a single person in the two days since the game has argued this point. Not a single one.
If the refs got the call right on the field, there would be absolutely no way we would be able to get the kicking crew there and kick the ball. Best we could have hoped for was hurrying everyone to the line and hoping to get the snap off for a hail mary, and even that would be pretty hard to do.
That isn't what happened though. The refs called him down with time expiring. They then stopped play to review the call. Because the refs stopped play to review the call, play then begins on the ready whistle.
Auburn smartly took the review time to have their entire fg team ready and in position. Whistle blows and ball is snapped.

Just admit Auburn benefitted from an obvious loophole.
How is the referee stopping play to review something a loophole?

Seriously, it's just a bad break. I think everyone on every side would admit that. They happen.

And in the NCAA the clock stops for first downs...
It doesn't stop for 5 minutes
Yes, it does. It stops every time there is a video review. The clock then starts again when the ref blows the whistle for play to resume. It doesn't matter if there is one second on the clock or 13:25. Auburn was ready for play to resume ans snapped the ball immediately when the ref blew his whistle.

Yep. Incredibly unfortunate/fortunate event depending on your side.
A rule change isn't needed though.

The NCAA should never do anything the NFL did because they’ve made their product nearly unwatchable.

Absolutely.
If I'm a Tide fan, I'm thinking "We scored 40+ points and lost to two hated rivals who threw everything they had into beating us. We still nearly made the playoffs with our backup QB. We've got more titles than anyone save the Yankees. Speaking of the Yankees, I think I'll just declare this offseason the Summer of George."
But as I am a fan of the Tigers, all I can say is:

Yea I think I agree - it's a rare occurrence and a rule change would negatively affect other situations.
It just is what it is.

Yep. The current runoff rule proposed int he OP wouldn't have applied here because there is a clock stoppage for first downs. You'd have to eliminate that first, then that rule could apply.
You could put something in where if a coach calls for a review and it doesn't go there way, there is a runoff, but that still wouldn't have changed this outcome because Gus was right in there needing to be .01 on the clock.

I mean, to be completely honest, the best way to go about it would be the referee understanding the situation and just saying the ruling on the field stands.
But they can't do that, and it'd be unfair to expect them to.

Yea, but then you get into the can of worms of allowing refs to dictate what a call is based on the situation it is called in. I think we can all agree nobody wants that.
If they thought there wasn’t enough evidence to put .01 back on the clock, they could have said the call stood anyways.

The same referees that say things On the radio like “I hope we didn’t make a mistake and cost Alabama a shot at a national championship” after important plays like the kick 6?

Too many rules is hurting the game as it is. Every time someone loses they need a new rule so they don't lose from that again.
While we're at you want a rule that interceptions can't be returned from out of the end zone or balls can't be picked off after it hits a player in the back? All would have helped Bama.

quote:It's unfair to change the rules because the "situation" or because one team needs to win to make the playoffs. Had the same thing happened in the middle of the quarter and a coach wanted the time checked they would have seen him hit the ground with extra time and changed the time on the clock.
But they can't do that, and it'd be unfair to expect them to.
