It was a close call but it was the right one. No excuses from me. We are at least privileged to have another opportunity against #1.

Yeah, if there is no clear evidence the referee says, "The call on the field stands." But if there is clear evidence that the call on the field is correct, the ref says, "The call on the field is confirmed."

No it wasn't. The replay confirmed the call on the field. That means they had enough evidence to see that it was clearly a pick.

When they say confirmed, it means that the play was called correctly on the field.

If he would have said the play stands, that would have mean that there wasn't enough evidence to overturn it.

Really? You're telling me I don't know the rules when you just proved you don't.

It's "confirmed" when there is evidence the call on the field is correct. It "stands" when there isn't enough evidence either way.

Wrong.

If a call is confirmed, it means they had indisputable evidence it was the correct call

If a call stands, it means they just didn't have enough evidence to overturn it

Not true.

Confirmed means that they are sure they got it right.

Stands means they don't know one way or the other.

Overturned is obvious.

I'd imagine bama is pretty loose, not a flame but they understand they backed in versus earning their way in so in their mind they are playing with house money

I think LSU is probably more tense

perception requires a combination of free attention and cognizance of the rules to get to an understanding of what happened.

the chick has not got any of that. FWIW, the defender had his arm/hand between the receiver and the ball. then, before the would-be receiver touched his arse to the ground, the defender got the ball to move and free, and therefore, since the defender ended up with the ball, there was no catch. LUCK did not play any part in the play.

the chick does not understand the word LUCK nor does she comprehend the rules involved. share my post.

LSU has been a "loose" and confident team all year. Miles has done a masterful job of keeping this team focused and not uptight. They have played in more high stakes games based on ranking of opponents than any team in recent memory. I don't think that they will be intimidated in playing a team they have already beaten on the road. Actually Bama has much more to lose. LSU is already SEC champion, while if Bama loses they go home with absolutely nothing to show for the season except a nice runners-up trophy.

It wouldn't have been overturned had it been called a catch. It was that close.

There is nothing in the rules about using the word confirmed. From the NCAA web site...

quote:

The instant replay process operates under the fundamental assumption that the ruling on the field is correct. The replay official may reverse a ruling if and only if the video evidence convinces him beyond all doubt that the ruling was incorrect. Without such indisputable video evidence, the replay official must allow the ruling to stand.


I think it was the right call, but there was very little CLEAR about that play.

no doubt LSU has been very relaxed and loose all year while dominating opponents, but Alabama has to be telling themselves, "you know what, we shouldn't even be here so what do we have to lose"

This is kind of weird because if you go through the SEC undefeated winning the BCS title game is a foregone conclusion, but now LSU has to play another grueling SEC game...kind of sucks


anyway, after all that I think lSU wins it in a manner similar to the Mississippi st. game

Yeah, they backed in. How dare they think winning 11 games by an average of 30 points, leading the country in every defensive category, having a top Heisman contender on offense, and playing the worlds greatest team even for 60 minutes would earn them the #2 ranking. Whatever you say.
