Looks like a good no call to me.

Beat me to it.
The referee had his hands up when the ball was three yards away.

In FB many years ago in BR Bama was making a comeback and near the end of the game one of our WR's was blatantly pushed by a DB while the ball was in the air coming in his direction. No call.
Ball should have been placed at the 1 first down. I believe that play was a 4th down play.
About 35 years ago a Bama WR caught a ball near the end of the game at PSU and came down in bounds in the back of the end zone. The ref who we found out later had PSU ties called him out. Bama was making a comeback and this may have been a critical 4th down play also.

I want to take a fricking 9 iron to the officials after that call. No ties to the Saints, but every fan in America felt the pain.

This no-call knocked us out of the tourney...

Wow. How do they miss that call? “Let em to the extreme.
Did I miss the Mizzou/CU 5th down? Top 5 blown calls in sports history.

Thankfully we have replay now
the replays don't justify the number of bad calls today. it actually makes the play calling worse.
obviously it boils down to judgement of the play.
these officials and "replay booth experts" will overturn or verify a no-call situation in order to change the outcome of a game.
it really is criminal. Saints/Rams as an example.

Canes vs tOSU
I’m a closet Canes fan and the pass interference in the National Championship was criminal.

1) Fifth down.
2) Flea-kicker
ETA: both Colorado and Nebraska went on to win national championships after we were robbed.

Ball was tipped

Good no call, wr was impeding the defenders path to the ball too, defender also turned his head towards the ball at the end. It was a bang bang play and wr could of been penalized for unnecessary roughness as he hit the defender in the head/face area.

The Swindle in The Swamp had numerous bad calls.
LINK
Opening kickoff. Cromartie was popped, the ball clearly came loose before his knee hit the ground. Should have been UF ball @ the FSU 30. Instead, it's 1 and 10 FSU at their own 32. Drive ends in a punt, should have been at least 3 points for UF.
Same drive. Guss Scott forces the ball out, then Matt Farrior dives in and it pops out in our favor to Guss before the officials blew the play dead. Scott would have had a return for a TD. Instead they say he was down, again, the drive ended in a punt.
The kickoff after the UF FG. Leon Washington has a case of the Butterfingers and can't hold on to the ball, Billy Latsko makes the play of his career and runs the ball into the endzone for an apparent UF TD. Officials call UF offsides on the kick, results in rekick and FSU 1st down. You've all seen the pics, there was no offsides.
Same drive. FSU WR clearly has firm possession of the ball and 2 feet down right before getting completely leveled and losing the ball which UF recovered. However, refs rule it an incompletion. FSU keeps the ball.
Very next play. Booker loses the ball before the officials rule the play dead again, which once again would have resulted in a UF TD, this time Darryl Dixon. However, Booker was ruled down, and FSU scores on the very next play... That was just the 1st half. Here's the 2nd.
The no call on Keiwan's catch in the end zone. After watching it in super slow mo, I waited til he had the ball in his hands, then once he did I looked at his feet, his left foot was clearly in bounds. I remember seeing it live and seeing him throw the ball down in frustration, now I know why. That was an INT taken away. However, it worked out cuz he returned the Rix fumble for a TD. That one actually stood. But would be made up for a few plays later...
Fason was tackled by Dockett. On his way down, Fason ran into to Show's big ole arse and the ball came out of his hands a little, however he clearly regained possession before hitting the ground because he was on the ground for a good half second to a second before you even see the ball squirt out. A missed call by the officials, leads to an FSU TD and a make up for Keiwan's TD.
The goal line stand. Leon Washington clearly fumbles the ball, that's not in question. The officials acknowledged that, however they said the "fumbler re-established possession." I would love to know how. After watching the replay, Washington lands on the ball with his knee while Channing Crowder is simultaneously falling to the ground. While down there, Crowder beats Washington to the ball, and takes it from him, perfectly legal and should have been awarded to Crowder. However, the refs bitch about him not getting the ball and then taking his frustration out on the ball. Result, FSU TD.

2003: Swindle in the Swamp
Florida State was ranked No. 9 and Florida No. 11 coming into the 2003 contest in Gainesville. It turned out to be a close and high-scoring affair, but it is most remembered for several controversial referee calls by the ACC officiating crew, and was christened the "Swindle in the Swamp" by several national and Florida sportswriters for the questionable calls on multiple fumble/no-fumble plays that went against Florida.[29][30][31][32][33] Florida nevertheless held a slim 34–31 lead late in the fourth quarter when Seminoles quarterback Chris Rix hit wide receiver PK Sam for a 52-yard touchdown pass with under a minute to go, giving Florida State a 38–34 lead. Before the winning score, Rix had completed a first down pass on a fourth-and-14 play deep in Seminoles territory to keep the drive alive. The Seminoles went on to hold off the Gators, 38–34.
After the game, a fight broke out on the field between the Florida and Florida State players after some Seminole players celebrated the win by jumping on the "F" logo in the center of Florida Field. FSU's athletic director apologized on behalf of the university for sparking the incident[34] and both schools took steps to make sure similar incidents did not recur.
The questionable calls by the ACC officials, headed by Jack Childress, prompted Florida AD Jeremy Foley to demand the officiating crew be provided by the home team's conference. This change took effect with the 2005 game.

On the opening kickoff, Florida State's Antonio Cromartie fumbled and the Gators recovered. Officials ruled the play over before the fumble, even though Cromartie's knee clearly hadn't touched the ground.
In the third quarter, Florida State's Pat Watkins scooped up a
fumble and returned it for a score, even though Florida tailback
Ciatrick Fason appeared to be flat on the ground before the ball
popped out.
In the fourth quarter, Chris Rix ran for a touchdown and a 31-27
lead four plays after officials awarded the ball to the Seminoles,
even though Gators linebacker Channing Crowder came out of the pile
with the ball. Leon Washington, who fumbled, appeared to be sitting
on the ball when officials made the call.

Doesn’t negate defensive holding.
