Did you all see the Field Goal by Syracuse today that got ruled good by the Big East officials? Even after a review, they confirmed it.
Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder could have called it wide left, as it WAS.
And Toledo ends up losing to Cuse by...you guessed it...3 points.
I rarely, if ever, play the "poor officiating" card, but this was one of the most blatent "mistakes" that I have ever seen.
I can't find a video, but just saw the replay on CBS Sports during the Alabama vs Arkansas game.

I was watching it live when they kicked it and thought it was no good and then they started showing replays and I have no idea one way or the other if it was good or not after seeing them.
They showed 2 replays from different angles multiple times.
One from straight away that looked like the ball passed in front of the goal post without disappearing and made it look like a miss
The other was from the left at a angle and it looked like the ball did dissappear behind the left goal post and made it look like the kick was good.
Really weird
All I saw was the straight on view....but it was wide left....no boubt adout it.

They admitted they made the wrong call.
"After studying the videos of the Syracuse extra point attempt at 2:07 of the fourth quarter, we have concluded that the ruling on the field that the kick passed between the uprights was incorrect, and that the replay official made an error in failing to reverse that ruling. In reviewing the video, we have determined that the angle from behind the kicking team shows conclusively that the ball passes outside the right upright.
"Our review of the process determined that the replay official mistakenly focused his attention on the sideline angle, which proved to be distorted. We are confident that our officiating staff will learn from this situation in order to prevent a reoccurrence. "
Like I said though if you had seen the other replay you wold have been like WTH, how can one replay show one thing and the other one show something else.
I didn't see it but I am not suprised, Big East football officials are horrible.
