are either a catch?
I have seen a lot of crying about these two plays

With as much NIL money as being spent, they have to be able to control out-come of the games.
With the HUGE gambling, it helps make up some of the money exchange.

Explain to me how the LSU TD wasn't a TD??? The ball is clearly (controlled) and over the pylon. Robbed...

Jesse James caught it and so did these two players.
he had not made the catch yet. he went to the ground and the ball hit the ground shifted and hit a second time
he did not make the catch
Hmmmm...I'll rewatch after the race. But I appreciate that assessment...
not the same thing
James caught the ball, went to a knee and turned his body to lunge across the goal line. he caught the ball and made a football move
neither occurs in these two plays
I just watched your video again instead.
Here's what NO ONE understands (anymore) - if the TD is a passing TD - the ball only needs to 'break the plane with control', right? Surviving the catch shouldn't be a factor IMO, but I guess I'm wrong...
you still have to complete the catch. that did not happen

Second guy had 3 feet down with the ball......what is a football move if not getting multiple feet down before going out of bounds......and really, who cares what happens once a reciver is out of bounds because, to Berm's point above, passing the plane of the EZ while in possession is a TD regardless of what happens after.

Foot down with possession, it should be a TD. Refs don't call a fumble if a defender strips the ball away a split second after crossing the goal line.

Zactly
I took my time watching it. For me they both are clearly catches. If they don’t meet the criteria in college for a catch, they need to change that criteria.
they need to learn to hold onto the ball
If this isnt a catch, then everytime a runner sticks his arm accross the goal line and the ball falls out of his hand,, thats a fumble.

Exactly.
The whole notion of possession is ridiculous......a RB bumbling the ball, stretching and extending for the EZ has possession, but that similar athleticism by the same RB receiving the ball at the goalline is literally scored differently.
Makes no sense.
why? the rb already has control of the ball and been running with it
this kid is trying to catch the ball and there are steps that have to be completed
not close to the same thing

I think first one was a catch. You only need 1ft in in college and he had 2 feet plus he broke the plane. 2nd one the guy did have 3 feet in, but did shuffle the ball a little so that one is tougher. I think if you get 2 ft in with control what happens after should not matter

Thats exactly correct. When you pass Go, collect $50 from Jimmy.
still has to complete the catch
going to the ground he has to maintain control
if he runs accross the corner and doesnt hit the ground,, its a touch down.
but he didn't...he was falling as he tried to catch it..he had to maintain control
Poking the bear again. First, it's now $62.41, maplehead ... second, he already did.
As to the topic, I think the officials should follow the players into the locker room and then the team bus to insure they never let go of the ball.
