When I was younger, I remember Alabama losing to Arkansas on a pass that bounced off the ground in the endzone.
I'm never going to complain about the games taking forever due to getting the calls right. The issue with game length is mostly on the broadcasters not the replay crew. Replay is just a compounding factor of what is already a heavily inflated game length due to commercial interests.
Someone on here it on a good point about the NFL commercial strategies employed by the broadcasters. When there is an injury timeout, you get the Fox Sports piano and a commercial break. When there is a review, you get a quick replay or two and a break. If there is a full timeout taken, they immediately go to break. My guess is that the advertising contracts for NFL games are more flexible than those for college football. The broadcasters seem to be able to deploy a contracted advertisement at will whereas my reckon - given how much Verne and Gary dead air we get - is that CBS SEC games have slotted spots for advertisement. They're not going to go to break unless they're in the window for an advertisement slot. That means we get a dozen replays and commentary instead of fitting in advertisement that could save some time on the back end. Furthermore, since the 2-minute warning does not exist the broadcasters are motivated to sit on advertisements to maximize the value for their customers. Close game late == more eyeballs on your ad.
This is yet another reason we need a commissioner of college football. We need a unified set of rules that dictates pace of play, television timeout structure, etc across college football. The money interest has their fingers all over this sport but at least the NFL pushes back to find a compromise between monetization, pace of play, time slotting, etc. The NFL makes ungodly money every year yet they can consistently make a time slot. It is because they control their product. They work with the advertising interest where needed (2 min warning) but they don't let the advertising interest degrade the core product.
