Replay in CFB is broken & Targeting foul is equally broken! - Clearly a TD in first half - 100% targeting (and I hate targeting) at end Officiating in CFB needs an overhaul...No reason for every conference to have their own officials...Should have a national officiating base

We have to include two types of targeting 1) Foul without intent...player not ejected 2) Obvious targeting of opponents head or neck...player ejected Ejecting players for playing hard is stupid

Final thoughts on Officials...Replay official was awful 1) Needed to CONFIRM all elements of targeting...if there is any question he is supposed to leave player in game 2) Call on field was catch and fumble...video was not indisputable and yet still overturned overreach on both

Keep in mind that replay is only supposed to get involved if they can CONFIRM every aspect of Targeting With two questionable (at best) aspects 1) level changes late 2) defender wraps up with no launch This was an awful and game changing call call (replay)
