By rule, this is a correctable error using replay.


Edited to add: For all you conspiracy theorists who think the Big 12 officials cooked this up to put Texas in the title game, think about this: If Nebraska wins, they get a BCS game and the league get to split up the $17 million AND Texas would still have gone to a BCS game as an at-large bid (probably ousting Boise St.). The league would have received an additional $4.5 million. The Texas win cost the Big 12 $4.5 million.
Well the BCS fat cats will make it up to the Big 12 . And I did think it was the correct call but boy I wanted the BCS screwed up. Can you tell my dislike for the BCS . We need a playoff system and then I will watch religiously.
