With his hand above the ball, effectively palming it, it appeared to give the look of "control" as he was going down, when it was really his hand just on top of the ball as they both descended to the ground at the same rate.
To me it wasn't dissimilar to the ball moving forward against the body of the Auburn QB at the goal line, even though it was loose between his arms and moving forward uncontrolled due to momentum.

Gotcha.
That view isn’t one I’m talking about. Stadium view looked straight toward him from Florida end zone between his arms.

I agree but the ball was moving before he hit the ground. Watch the nose of the football away from his hand and it was moving before he came down on the ground. I am more certain of the fumble than I am of the catch/no catch.
In the long run, it really doesn't matter. The calls were made and the calls were upheld. Case closed.

I think it went forearm to forearm.
That picture doesn't show the ball hitting the ground that I can decipher

Looks like the ball is almost completely on the turf to me. ESPN just wanted to create negative controversy around another Georgia victory.

Shows the ball rotated clockwise on the turf between his hands.

Yeah, anybody who watches that video and says it's a catch is either a liar or blind. I put Jordan Rogers in the former category.

Rogers is a jackal, I would just as well have Hunter Biden as an announcer than that douche nozzle.

The ball way hit the ground and bounced. IP.

I really don't understand the controversy. Seeing it real time and on several replays, as well as different photo angles, it's readily apparent that the ball hit the ground. Not even close.

You've answered your own question. It's a manufactured controversy promoted by the TV announcers to suggest that SEC officials are helping UGA win games, just like what happened in the Auburn game. Sean McDonough (Auburn game) and Jordan Rogers (Florida game) went on and on and on about calls helping Georgia, even where there was no video to back up their claims. Even when the replay booth upheld the calls. That's favoritism by the announcing crew and it's not uncommon. Not sure about McDonough but this is nothing new for Jordan Rogers.
When it comes to propaganda, the most frequent tactic is to use "experts" or "unbiased observers" to frame the argument. That makes it harder to question the objectivity and accuracy of their statements. Media personalities embrace that image of objectivity and expertise, but they're just run of the mill propagandists. And of course the fans don't care about evidence; they'll take that "objective expert opinion" and run with it as fact, as long as it suits their purposes. That's also why you have lots of posters on SEC rant posting with no team logo or being disingenuous about their team. They can troll their rivals without being accused of fan bias; they're "objective".

I thought it was too close to call and that's what the replay guys saw too and decided to let the call stand.

It was close enough that no matter which way it was called, there's not enough video evidence to overturn.

It wasn't too close to call. The video in this thread was conclusive that the ball hit the ground.

I thought the "rules expert" said there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call?

There was conclusive evidence that the call was correct and the ball hit the turf.

I don’t think it’s that.
Throughout that whole game Roger’s was trying to stir up drama. I think it’s the booth trying to add excitement that the call could be reversed and there was a chance at last minute heroics.
But alas…it wasn’t meant to be. Sorry Jordan.
The real drama here was FL missing yet another wide open receiver behind our coverage.

I'm not giving Jordan Rogers any benefit of the doubt regarding his intent. In my opinion based on listening to him over time, he dislikes Georgia and always has. In this case he was disagreeing with the video and the review officials to insist it was a bad call. He was clearly wrong and that goes beyond drama, IMO.

We’re fortunate it wasn’t called a completion in the field. There’s nothing “conclusive” caught on camera. I think, especially from the end zone view, it sure appears to have touched the ground but I don’t think they would’ve changed it to incomplete based on that view.

The view in the video above is conclusive. The ball hit the ground and bounced. If there was any doubt from that view alone (I don't have any doubt) they could look at that in conjunction with the view from the front and see that his hands and arms were clearly separated when the ball arrived.
If any part of the ball touches the ground before the receiver controls it, it's an incomplete pass. The ball hit the ground between his hands and arms and bounced into his chest where he secured it. That's incomplete.
