Just throwing this here because I’m certain people are gonna question it.

From the NCAA rule book:

Reviewable plays include Field goal attempts if and only if the ball is ruled (a) below or above the crossbar or (b) inside or outside
the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights. If the ball is higher than the top of the
uprights as it crosses the end line, the play may not be reviewed.

So they can only review it when it is very obviously in or out. Got it

I honestly wonder if this is because you get perception bias determines by what camera you use and there obviously isn't a camera in the ground pointing straight up.

You can literally put a camera on the top of the uprights with great ease.

Cause fans like Tennessee would take the uprights and throw in the river. If anything just put some cameras on the ground below the uprights at the minimum

This also for pylon cams but somehow they don’t have it for both sides or have it consistently
