Incontestable; not open to question; obviously true.
A couple of bad replay overturns involving local teams this year...
Play: It looks like Allen’s heel may have touched out-of-bounds, but it is unclear whether it actually hit the line or merely shadowed the sideline.
Result: Notre Dame has to settle for a Nick Tausch field goal and goes on to lose the game by four points – the margin of Allen’s overturned touchdown.
Notre Dame/Washington
Situation: Washington appears to have taken a 31-22 lead with 7 minutes left.
Play: Chris Polk appears to maybe have been down before crossing the goalline. Still shots show that his knee may have been down, but it is unclear where the football was and if it had crossed the plain of the goalline.
Result: Notre Dame goes on a goalline stand to keep UW out of the end zone and rallies for a 37-30 overtime victory.
This is not indisputable video evidence
Indiana/Iowa
Situation: following an interception return for TD by Iowa, Indiana drives down the field and appears to have extended their lead to 27-14 with the extra point pending.
Play: Terrance Turner appeared to have dragged his foot in-bounds, but in reality it was nearly impossible to tell which hit first, his knee or foot and if either were in or out-of-bounds.
Result: Nick Freeland misses a 28-yard field goal and IU comes away empty-handed.
NCAA rules state: "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."
Does that sound like the rule that is practiced by officials?
