Ah, the Deep South (of which I consider Oklahoma an honorary member)! In the aggregate, no other area of the country does compartmentalization and denial like southerners. They've long been part of the culture.

The play happened, and CMU didn't chip in a field goal, either. OkState let them score a 50 yard touchdown. That part absolutely happened on the field. IMHO they've lost twice now to CMU by refusing to man up after the fact.

Is terrible. But to pretend this did not happen and then have rings made commemorating the pretend result is a total disconnect with reality.

The referees call was actually just.* You shouldn't be able to get away with a penalty to prevent the opponent from getting the ball on a technicality.

CMU should not be robbed of that win.

Don't know if it has yet, but the rule should be changed to reflect that.

 

* Not sure if the rule is in the NCAA football rulebook, but I seem to remember in baseball rulebooks some guideline where if the umpires believe that an action is "making a travesty of the game", they are allowed to make a ruling to prevent them.
