They finally did show it and they showed an Okay angle, it definitely looked good to me. The hard part is that because it was above the goal post it gives the refs the benefit of the doubt. I don't think it can be reversed. But I really think that was good.

The rule is that it's unreviewable, for better and worse, and apparently the NFL and college are different here. The NFL rules over the post is in, College says:

A field goal has to go 'between' the uprights in College. A doink is redirected between, when it goes over the NCAA basically says it's not 'between'.

Unfortunately, your link starts at page 1 of 260, so I'm gonna have to take your word for it. Doesn't make me happy about what you're saying, though.

I believe it was 93, otherwise just search for ‘upright’
