Since you are "fairly new to NCAA football," have you considered that the veteran officials, selected because of their skills, experience, and qualifications, are correct, and that you might be wrong?

Yes I'd be the first to admit that they make a lot of real tough calls, and make most of them well. What I'm trying to say is that there have been one or two really bad calls - fumbles at the goal line when the player was down, valid catches that have been ruled incomplete - that sort of thing. The commentators seem to be really down on the officials and I was wondering what the general opinion was on NCAA refs. The calls I speak about are proven to be incorrect by replay, so, no I'm not wrong. And I fully appreciate how hard it is to get it right all the time, and that the officials do not have the luxury of replay. I'm not saying the officials are bad, not in any way....I was just surprised at some calls in such important games.
On another note...there is no two-minute warning in NCAA?
