Anyone hear Kansas Coach Mangione's comments after the game regarding the OPI called on his team with 2 minutes to go? He kept saying that his player executed a swim move, which is taught by every offensive coordinator in the league, and the call was motivated by the BCS (ie - he was saying the officials made a conscious decision to cheat him).

Seems to me the "swim move" is a legitimate way for a receiver to get by his receiver at the line of scrimmage, but once the ball is in the air, that is simply pass interference - you can't create space with your arms with the ball in the air.

Other than the obvious thoughts that Mangione needs to step away from the buffet... what are your thoughts on this?
