Tell me if that ball stays in without his right hand getting on the ball. Now tell me his right hand is controlling the ball when his left elbow hit the ground.
From this point onward, the ball moves with his right hand through the contact of the ground. The seam for the most part stays in one place. If I had to make a decision I’d say no catch. But there isn’t a point where he indisputably lost possession of the ball

Yes. His right hand was under the ball. He controlled it to the ground. And yes a "caught" ball can touch the ground.

It pains me to say this but yes it was a catch.

The most telling thing is that you get to all the neutral parties out there and no one is disputing it as a catch.
Pretty much just Twitter accounts of Arkansas fans.

You have to control the ball before going out of bounds moron. HE DID NOT
If you are able to wrap your hand around the end of the ball, you have control of the ball.

Securing the ball between your chest and the ground does not count. If it is secured while touching the ground and does not move, then you are good. This would have stood if it were called either way. No angle gave a definitive view to overturn whatever the call on the field was.

The NCAA rulebook details a number of requirements for something to be considered a catch, but these are the three main pieces. For a catch, the player:
1. Secures firm control with the hand(s) or arm(s) of a live ball in flight
before the ball touches the ground, and
2. Touches the ground in bounds with any part of his body, and then
3. Maintains control of the ball long enough to enable him to perform an act common to the game, i.e., long enough to pitch or hand the ball, advance it, avoid or ward off an opponent, etc.
4. If an Alabama receiver is involved in the replay, disregard 1, 2, and 3.. it's a catch.
5. If Alabama CB or Saftey is involved in the replay, disregard 1, 2, 3, and 4... it's not a catch.
Just looked it up on the NCAA website.
Fixed that for you.

Cool, so even by your own rules it was a catch.
Guess that settles it.

Every time I watch that video I see it a little differently. Bottom line is the call on the field was going to stand. And the call on the field was solid, he was in bounds and wasn't "bobbling" it to any degree that a live eye could have possibly detected any ball movement. As we see on this thread many fans of Bama's worst rivals agree with the call. Even OP accidentally concedes that the review was correctly called by default when he states that he doesn't see evidence that it wasn't a catch. Anyone using this particular call as some sort of indication of the Bama bias is hopelessly brainwashed by their hatred or simply doesn’t understand how a video review works.

The refs earlier took a TD run from Bryce on a hold that didn't impact the play. Things happen, but when anti-Crimson glasses are off, it usually balances out over a game.
The catch was a tough call that was called a catch. Hell, even Jameson wasn't sure, he refused to toss the ball to the ref until he signaled the call.
Moving on to IB and hope to see some major defensive improvement

GTFO with that bull shite. They missed 3 PI's at least against Bama.

He didn't have "control" of the ball until he was out of bounds. But keep wearing the crimson glasses.

They missed 3 or more against Arkansas too. That offensive pushoff that Burks did was an obvious miss.
The only thing that matters really is what the scoreboard says.

He didn't have full control.

He had a couple he got away with, which seems to be a norm for a no call for big WRs in the SEC. It's odd.

Agreed. It's been that way for a while. Mike Evans used to get some calls like that.
