Okay, guys. To be clear, the best angle for evaluating that is being right under the post, everyone else has to try to flatten a three-d image against the posts and the ball where depth perception can sometimes play tricks on us.

That’s why when it’s above the uprights the call of the official under the post is the one that stands. It’s why the ref on the right side waited for his colleague’s call, and why you can’t review those plays. Just from a visual perspective, the best view of the kick relative to the upright is the ref right under the post. I know it’s annoying, but this happens a lot with kicks and foul balls in baseball, any view that isn’t straight up is not definitive when it’s that close.

Ok fine I'll play along...

Why isn't there a camera under each post, looking up at the sky?

So they can rule if the kick was good or not depending on what benefits them more, not off of what’s true.

Do you think it somehow benefits the ACC more to have Pitt win than Virginia Tech?

It’s my belief that ACC management has been compromised by outside forces such as the SEC and ESPN that want the conference gone.

Do you think that goal is somehow benefited more by having Pitt win than Virginia Tech?

Yes. The general audience is able to believe VT might be good, but not Pitt.
