Your argument is incorrect. That said, on this particular play, I don't think there would have been enough evidence to overturn it. For better optics, it being a close call in a close game, they should have called for an on-field review.

Because it is. The replay officials took at look at the catch, deemed it a catch, and moved on. That is the way it has always worked.

Because his knee was down first with full control of the ball, before going to the ground. Play over.
Didn't they also call a play dead when Milroe's knee never hit the ground. I think it was the difference between an 8 yard loss and a 20-something yard gain?

I was watching with my wife's family (all Bama fans) and when the play happened, they were all hating life because they thought it would be overturned...then they snapped the ball and everyone was happy again.

"empirical evidence"
If the PoliBoard has taught us anything, it's that most people who post here have no idea what the word "empirical" means.
Hell, most don't even know what constitutes "evidence."

Doesn't have to be a knee. His lower leg clearly touched.

However, a replay clearly showed that the ball hit the ground and was not caught
Yeah, that’s not what happened. Watch the replay full speed instead of looking at still shots. He retained clear possession through the catch.

Ive been asking this for 15 years. Hell I beg you people to do it every year and you never do. Every Spring in Destin the SEC ADs meet and vote on everything. There will be 15 ADs not from Alabama at the meeting. They can vote to replace the entire SEC officiating staff, move the HQ from Birmingham, sanction Alabama for paying off refs, change the SEC schedule. So I am asking once again, PLEASE contact your AD and have them implement these changes. Every AD has an email address that is public
You forgot that the REC has implanted nanites into the brains of all the ADs, subtly controlling the all decisions for the SEC. I hear they got Lex Luthor on contract to make them too, so you know they're high quality.

It was not clear, it was most certainly reviewable and could have been overturned based on the ball's movement. It could have also been upheld as control was established and maintained.

I understand. You get what you pay for. That's why it was working.

Hey Georgia.
You don't have to do any bitching at all about that game and it's officiating. You've got these persecuted, whitebooted coonasses to do it for you.
They'll take the hit.

We all got together and decided to keep this one quiet. And I’ll probably take some heat for leaking this, but you’re right. Right after the “catch”, a slight nod from our penalty decider on the sideline was given to the ref. The ref knew to let that one go.
Well oiled machine.

Empirical evidence - I watch the games like I've been doing for 100 years - Some of these refs and reviewers cheat

Because it was a catch. The only reason anybody is talking about it is because Gary Danielson implied that it might not have been a catch. He does stuff like that all the time. Nobody else outside of the fans are even talking about it.
My favorite was early in the game Gary says “ OH, it’s like like Bama got away with a holding call there”. He kept on about it, when they showed it in slow motion he retracts his statement and says “ that was good no call”.
So, he spews his mouth live on air to create controversy, only to see the play back and say “ good no call there.”
Why even mention shite like that at all when announcing if you aren’t sure. You’re not the GD Ref Gary. Good riddance!

Look, maybe you don't overturn it but at a minimum you stop play and look at it for transparency just like you did later in the game for a more obvious play
So the bigger question is, why didn't Smart call timeout and ask for further review?

My favorite brain dead moment from Danielson was when he suggested in 2009 that Tennessee should have gotten a re-kick at the end of the Bama game because Cody took his helmet off while the play was alive. Under the rules at that time, any such penalty was enforced as a dead ball penalty after the play.

Don’t you cornies have a participation trophy bowl to prepare for. Enjoy the juice boxes and apple slices at halftime.
