USC Got Robbed in MNC
According to an article on Yahoo! Sports, instant replay should have overturned two calls in the national title game:

Since when did Matt Leinart start writing for Yahoo! Sports?
While I admit there are issues with the replay system and errors are sometimes made, I can't stand the thought of USC alums still trying to paint a picture that they were the better team.

It's a mea culpa...
I'm not reaching for my kleenex just yet. You have to win with whatever circumstances are handed to you, whether that's a blunder on the field or a blunder in the booth. Anyway, the replay officials didn't make Keith Rivers commit an incidental face-mask on 4th and MNC for Texas on their last drive.
All right, now I do need a tissue.

that was 3rd down

I think it was 4th
And, um, yeah. Any 'Poligists that want to crown USC for last year should be reminded of the interception by Drew Kelson. It was a blatant miss. Just as the Vince knee down was. The difference is that Texas still would have scored had they reversed the call.

Attack victims
I've gathered that much from Law and Order.

Replay also would have overturned
It all evens out in my book. Media needs to quit whining.
In the end, it's still 41-38.

The argument on the Bush lateral kills me
It wasn't a forward pass and the "apparent" trajectory of the ball has nothing to do with it. Not a single NCAA rule mentions or describes how an official should be looking at the way a ball moves in the air.
Its about where the ball stikes an animate object on the field (i.e. the WR's hand who Bush tried to pitch to). It hit his hand behind the spot of the pass, therefore it is not a forward pass.
How an airborne ball looks in slow motion has nothing, nada, zippo to do with the rules -- and the replay officials can not overturn a call based on phantom trajectories.
This guy and the alums crying need to STFU.
Kudos to the USC alumni who have gotten past this and can see that the officials didn't do either team any favors.

2005 MNC Officating
The only thing i'm trying to say is that the officating was horrible in that game, but I believe it affected both teams equally and nobody has any business stressing about it now.
The fact is that instant replay hasn't made the split second, close calls that officials on the field can't be blamed for if they get it wrong initially.

Time to move on
I've moved on, there too many other issues to focus on with this season.

Exactly
Yahoo Sports seems to enjoy covering all things USC (good or bad, I might add), from that story to the whole Reggie Bush fiasco. Do they have informants on campus digging up old records on players and doing interviews or what?
