Big Ten replays
You can be pretty certain the rest of the major conferences -- the ACC included -- will take a look at the success or failure of the Big Ten's replay policy, which differs from the NFL version in two key aspects: 1) Coaches have no say in what is reviewed; replay officials stationed in the press box make the calls on what to make the calls about. 2) There is no limit to the number of plays that can be questioned. The same standard for overturning a call -- an obvious on-field error -- exists in the two systems.

Yes, we need instant replay in college football. Just this past weekend, I watched 2 games influenced by referee calls. The Auburn-LSU game and the Fla.-Tenn. game.
Year in and year out we continue to see games influenced by these calls. The networks broadcasting games are always quick to point out when mistakes are made by referees. If one can be absolutely certain a call is correct, then why in the world would you not want to use the correct call through instant replay.
