When obviously there was nothing there (speaking of the reviewed Florida TD), that was conclusive.
Just a rant.

I don't recall hearing anything like that in NFL or NCAA. (Can you imagine the crowd reaction if the R came out and said "After review, we don't have a dang clue what happened, so the play stands as called.) FWIW, in NCAA replay, the field officials do NOT see the replay, so it might be harder for them to explain what's going on.
That said, I was watching a Big East game a few weeks back (pretty sure it was Louisville @ WVU) where, on two separate replays, the R announced that replay "confirmed the ruling on the field." To me, it looked like the replays were both inconclusive.
