Nick Saban, doesn't know that a review is a timeout?

He’s got old timers

And has he apologized for acting like a fricking 9 year old when things are bad. What a fricking baby. And why do I bet he demands "discipline" from the players.

When has a review NOT been a timeout?
Look, you got benefitted from the ref slow playing after the review allowing all your FG team to get on the field, be in place, let the center have his hand on the ball, ref got out of your team's way,etc. and Auburn took advantage of it.
The clock should have been started immediately after the ref made his announcement.
But give Auburn credit for being ready. Alabama would never have been able to get the snap off

This. The ref isn't supposed to wait to start the clock until the offense is lined up and ready to snap the ball. If the chains and the officials are all in position, he should start the clock immediately.

Has this ever happened immediately after an announcement or do they resume play after the whistle blows?
Also, I think Auburn was ready to snap even before the official announcement.

Hey, Gus was prepared for that game and made some great adjustments when needed. Good on Gus, he had his men prepared and fired up for the game and they executed a good game plan.

They still had to set the ball.
As he said in his announcement, "After the ball is set, the clock will start on the ready to play signal (when the whistle was blown)..."
Here's the whole sequence:

Since Auburn substituted players, Alabama should have been allowed to substitute players,too.
How was Alabama supposed to know what defense to put on the field not knowing if Auburn is kicking the FG or going to throw a hail Mary?

Apparently the sideline official next to him didn't know that either as he told Saban that it didn't matter 'cause they'd never snap the ball in time...

The long snapper, kicker, and holder were lined up on the field during the review. Bama knew they were kicking.

Lulz.
Auburn had their FG team on the field waiting and it was plain as day what they were doing. Bama had plenty of time to get ready as well (and they did). I was actually amazed that Bama didn't block the kick. Dude flew in there and somehow missed the ball.

That was a huge gaffe and Auburn got over big time. Not a surprise though. Honestly, Bama would have found a way to lose that game with that horrid defense. You guys do know that Auburn's offense is terrible right?

Genuinely curious - if the ref places the ball on the field, players lined up, chains in appropriate place, does the clock start when he lifts his hand off the ball or backs away and signals for the clock to start?
If it's the latter, Auburn would most certainly have had a chance to get their guys on the field and snap. It would have been difficult, but absolutely possible.

Why would the refs bother setting the ball until they knew there was any time left?
I think we have a lot of people upset purely because this benefited Auburn. The only error I see that the refs made was not stopping the clock with one second in real time. An error rectified by the replay. Did Auburn benefit from that? Of course. But it's not their fault the refs didn't stop the clock in the first place.

It's the latter. Ref has to get clear so they don't get obliterated when the ball is snapped.
Watch this clip from a similar situation in 2016 when LSU had one second left (briefly). The ref doesn't blow the whistle until he is clear, a few seconds after he sets the ball down.

Very difficult. You pretty much have to snap it right on the whistle (unlike LSU in the clip above).
