No grand conspiracy. No overthinking necessary. Just sensationalism and blowing everything about major college football up to gigantic proportions (if this had happened in a game featuring Baldwin-Wallace, nobody would care).

The point about conspiricy is that if the teams were reversed, they wouldn't be pitching such a fit. Just like the media has a favored political party, there are "favored" conferences/teams. When a BCS conference team gets the short end of a controversial decision, it's a outrage. When a non-BCS conference team gets the same, it gets mentioned (maybe) and passes.
Or they'be be saying...but look how high he threw it....you simply can't ignore that. The refs are neutral, the media has favorites.
