I am just going to say:
1 - The odd call in the last 5 seconds of the NC game was ultimately a judgement call.  I'm sure it was evaluated.
2 - The call against Samuelson was just wrong - the referee screwed up.  Period.  Foot out of bounds and obvious on TV.  But in the end, it was just a missed call.
3 - And what, pray tell, should the NCAA do about it?  What is gained by saying - our officials missed a call and it affected the outcome of the game?  or Official so and so missed a call and we are going to do x, y and z to them?

I'm with TJI.  It is a difficult profession where even good refs make mistakes.  Years ago I read an article about (maybe by) Lisa Mattingly where she talked quite honestly about an instance that affected the game where she blew her whistle and called a foul, even as she realized "oops", that she erred.  Happens, you can't take the foul back.

And if you really think that was "rugby like" - come on out to a PAC 12 game some time.  To be fair, a lot of the contact isn't really fouls (contending for loose balls, just physicality away from the ball, that type of stuff), but it sure is rough.
