I feel for you all. That was a horrible reverse at the end. ACC just wants Miami undefeated to go to the CFP. No Indisputable evidence at ALL to overturn that call.

We shouldn’t have been in that situation.
1. Why run a fake field goal get the points go up 13
2. Pry let 30+ seconds run off the clock then used a timeout that’s terrible clock management
12 years of mediocrity I’m ready for new everything HC DC AD everyone needs to go except Mines !

This is all true but the reversal was outrageous and done strictly to keep Miami undefeated. You don't spend that long reviewing a call to overturn it. If you make a bad call, you grab your sack like a man and you hold to the decision you make by the rules given to you which is "if there isn't clear evidence, you do not overturn the call" and these refs tucked all their manhood between their legs and did what Daddy ACC told them.
If they had initially ruled it incomplete, I wouldn't expect them to overturn it. But the fact that they ruled it a TD and there wasn't any indisputable evidence, makes it totally bogus. Those refs didn't have the guts to stand by their initial call
This^^^ 100% this.
It's simple, really.
The ACC holds far more television $$$ leverage with an unbeaten top ten team with a Heisman frontrunner than they would with a 4-1 team ranked 20-something.
I am disturbed at how angry I remain.

I am still just as angry as I was last night. How is there indisputable evidence when it takes you 10 minutes to look at the video. How?
Hated to see the Hokies get CHEATED. College Football as we know it is gone. It’s a bigger business than the NFL now.
Really makes it feel like there was money that the refs would receive if they overturned the call.
Yea ACC office in Charlotte made that call had to keep an ACC team undefeated
I’m not necessarily a Tech fan, but it sure looks like there was an effort to favor Miami. I hate to believe that officials at any level of athletics can be swayed by bias or other reasons, but I wasn’t born yesterday either.
On a lighter note, one of the guys that works for me is a big Notre Dame fan. And his chief tormentor since the loss to N Illinois is all about the “U”! It would have been fun to watch the payback if Miami had lost.

That wasn’t a catch…the Miami player out of bounds touched the ball making it an incomplete pass plus the ball was clearly moving anyway. Y’all are clearly fans of Va Tech. I’m unbiased. No clue how they called that a touchdown in real time anyway.
How about talking about the dumb coaching decisions to try that fake FG and to waste all that time on the final drive.

Rules Question. Was it illegal for the Miami player to touch the ball while clearly laying out of bounds ?
As much as ones fandom says that it was a catch , there was never clear and obvious possession maintained through contact with the ground and a completion of the catch. The ball undoubtedly moved as they jostled their way to the ground, tough break as you all said because tech didn’t have to be in this position and could’ve been playing for the winning fg. It wasn’t a catch and to say that he did come away with the ball clearly when Miami got up and exited the pile with it is wearing maroon and orange colored glasses.
