Oregon-Michigan referees receive Worst Missed Call of the Year award.

I hope I see a headline tomorrow that says something like, “NCAA dismisses all officiating team members from Michigan-Oregon game.” Do you think I'm overreacting? Let me convince you otherwise.

As I said, the No. 1 Ducks and the Wolverines faced off in Ann Arbor, and the Ducks marched to the one-yard line on their first possession. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel decided to throw a fade route to Evan Stewart for the score.

When I saw this I thought, “Damn, this sucks (I’m a Michigan fan). But that was a great piece.”

Except, right?

I thought for sure when Oregon had just six points on the board. But when the CBS broadcast came back from commercial break, I saw the truth.

Stewart dropped the ball – in front of the linesman no less – and it was clear that he did. The ball slipped through his hands, bounced off the ground and was therefore incomplete. However, for some reason the refereeing team didn't call for the play to be reviewed, so the game continued with the Ducks leading 7-0, which they shouldn't have had.

I'm angry. Pissed off. Disgusted (that's a word, right?). The referee was perhaps, Perhaps 15 feet from the “fang,” and yet somehow he couldn’t see the flat as the day sank. He could be a brother of the guy who missed out Sam Darnold's face mask call.

But even with that miss, the replay system was invented to ensure that a referee's stupid – and highly consequential – decision could be corrected. However, the audience in the replay room must have chosen to take a nap while this play unfolded, because they also largely failed to perform the most basic function of their job description: telling the refs to review the damn play.

So yeah, these guys need to be fired. And I'm not the only one who is angry about this result.
