I know you don't officiate football and have probably never seen the NCAA football rule book, so let me help you with the replay threshold...
12-1-2 The instant replay process operates under the fundamental assumption that the ruling on the field is correct.
The replay official may reverse a ruling if and only if the video evidence convinces him beyond all doubt that the ruling was incorrect. Without such indisputable video evidence, the replay official must allow the ruling to stand.
It was close enough that two actual college football officials ruled him short during live action and at least one other actual football official is questioning the overturn of the ruling on the field. Show me a photo or video image that shows the ball breaking the plane of the goal line...
