That's just the way things go.

Last year at WVU, an incorrect call was made near the end of regulation, during an on-side kick. WVU player bashed into our guy as he was attempting to catch the ball, and a WVU player caught it instead. It never hit the ground, therefore WVU wasn't allowed to touch it until a UofL player had. Nope. Ball went to WVU, they drove & tied the game. Then in triple OT, WVU pulled out the win.

And then WVU went to the Sugar Bowl and kicked UGA's arse. But if that bad call (which was apologized for the following Monday) hadn't been made (allowing WVU to recover an illegal onside kick), UofL would have won, and gone to the Sugar Bowl (Conference champ). But that's all history, now.

At least this was a non-conference game, with really no bearing on the season, anyhoo. OK or Oregon has a chance at a BCS game w/o winning their conference, at this point, which both still have the chance to do.
