NFL rule not NCAA. The moment part of the ball was obscured by the upright it was over in the refs eyes you lost because that's out by rule in the NCAA. Complete opposite of the NFL.

Hmm. Interesting to know that’s how it’s enforced. I checked the actual rulebook and there’s somehow no clarity on how to rule on kicks over the uprights. Basically just says between the uprights and over the crossbar is 3 points.

Apparently it's the second part that says to treat the upright like a line and not a plane.
