In the SEC, the review official will buzz down to the officials if he wishes to review a play. He has until the snap of the succeeding play to signal the crew on the field. Between plays the review official looks at each play via a Tivo type set-up. Within 2 minutes of signalling the review official must determine if there is enough indisputable evidence to overrule the call on the field. The referee via a headset is given the review official's decision and then conveys the decision to the stadium. At no time does the referee go under the hood like the NFL and this is true for every conference using the replay except for the Big Sky conference. What seems strange to me is the way the referee announced the decision in the C-USA game.
