It wasn't just the bullshit TD reversal. Pass Interference was selectively enforced the entire game.

The officiating was bad on both sides. It just happened to work in Michigan's favor at the end of the game. Va Tech really shot themselves in the foot preventing this from becoming a blowout (which it would have been had you removed the penalties.)

I don't disagree at all about VT fucking up repeatedly. They lost this game, not the refs.

It's just that the officiating is worse than the World Cup.

Yeah, I was gonna say... I saw a terrible pass interference no-call on VT. But they made it up to Michigan a few plays later with a roughing the kicker call.

Let's just say Michigan didn't win that game. Va Tech's stupid penalties, the lack of an actual kicker, and some referee help at the very end gave the victory to Michigan.

Va Tech dominated Michigan pretty much the entire game.

This was ruled an incomplete catch which would have given Va Tech a high probability of winning the game:

Cant tell from that if he had control and that the ground didn't help him complete the pass. The call on the field was overturned, so they must have seen SOMETHING...

Therein lies the problem. His other elbow touched the ground first while he had full control. That in itself should have been enough to uphold the call.

Apparently not. Its not they ruled it an incomplete catch and then didn't confirm the call. They actually overturned the call on the field. I dunno, I guess I can't tell from a utoob clip
