Rather than hijack the "Boise State" thread thought I would just drop in to this august body and drop a selfish line of advertising:

I spent a number of hours last night with Jack Folliard (insert advertisment here: My interview with Jack appears this morning on the paid side of this site) and discussed just a huge number of things.

Not only is Jack the referee for this year's National Championship Game he is also the Executive Director of the College Football Officials Association.

When we got to the point of talking about the Boise State play Jack laughed and noted:

"Now I am not in the head of the responsible official . . . I have no idea IF he selected to allow the play to stand as there was no advantage gained or if he missed seeing the action . . . but I will tell you this: I am very happy that no call was made -- in major college football and especially in a very important game by NOT making this call everyone, with the exception of people that officiate the game at different levels, ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GAME and they are not talking about an obscure call made by an official."

I deal with Jack on a day-to-day basis and I expect a very well officiated game betwix OSU/FLA.
