In a controversial finish, Florida State lost to Miami 43-35 in double overtime on Saturday night. A critical replay of Duce Robinson's potential catch on fourth-and-31 was conducted, but the officials upheld an interception ruling in favor of Miami. The timing of the review raised questions, as it lasted only 90 seconds despite the significance of the play, with many commentators suggesting simultaneous possession would have warranted a different outcome.
