After Further Review (College): Remember, the referees work for the conferences...

I want you to draw attention specifically to the second onside attempt.

Offside was called on both such attempts, both recovered by North Carolina.

And the first one WAS...

But the second...

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨 NORTH CAROLINA RECOVERED BACK-TO-BACK ONSIDE KICKS AGAINST MIAMI AND BOTH WERE WIPED OUT BY LATE PENALTY FLAGS FROM THE REFS. TWO STRAIGHT RECOVERIES. TWO EXTREMELY QUESTIONABLE CALLS. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST RIDICULOUS THINGS YOU WILL EVER SEE. THE ACC REFS 😳😳😳 VIDEO OF BOTH PLAYS: https://t.co/4bswl2jY4K

It is at this point and time I am now starting to require to state that the referees for the regular season conference games work for the conferences. Hence, if it is to the advantage of the conference to rig a game, there's a nonzero chance they will!

And with Miami #1 in the nation heading to the first CFP polling this week, I'd say it's to the ACC's advantage.

And, of course, the coach of North Carolina would know this better than anyone... BILL BELICHECK!

And here's another one from the same game.  Yes, North Carolina eventually got the TD anyway, but see if you can tell me where the holding on #75 on North Carolina actually was.  I'll wait here...

ONE OF THE WORST CALLS YOU WILL EVER SEE: UNC scored an easy touchdown, but the referees called a BOGUS holding penalty to wipe it off the board. The broadcast was stunned. The officials continue to make controversial calls favoring Miami. THIS IS RIDICULOUS: https://t.co/aX0CakbC38
