Sure, but are you also going to put one on all the players ankles, knees, hips, butts, stomachs etc.  There are two elements to spotting a ball.  I do agree technology should somehow be able to figure it out but it's not as simple as just chipping the ball as it is not a single variable call.

you chip the ball, have timestamp where ball crosses plane - look at that still and see where body parts are. It's easier than you think.

Lol. Good luck with putting the devil’s mark on Jesus ball

I'm with you, there are a number of physical factors involved. Knowing the exact time a ball crossed, when reviewing, say, a knee being down, could only help.

Yes because seeing the body parts in a pile of body parts is always easy.  How many times have you heard them say, "Well Tony there is the ball, but can we see if his knee is down there or not?" "Well Jim it's really hard to see with all those bodies in the way." 

Like I said I'm not arguing against tech and yea it would be a good start and the fact it isn't perfect shouldn't be the enemy of better but it wouldn't solve everything.

Where in the ball is this magical chip going to go?

Would have to be some strip running length of the ball under the cover or something like that.  Can't have it just be in one spot or of course that would also be problematic as this isn't "whole of the ball, whole of the line" like soccer etc.

It goes in the perineum

Each end, at least, maybe the midpoint of the seams if they can manage to make not affect the flight and want to be very thorough. 

This clock management is fuckin terrible. Why is Florida wasting so much time?

Holding? It’s weird to see it actually called

I can name two game-changing non-calls against Texas opponents that were 250% more egregious.

this ref looks like an instagram filter

He looks like he’s wearing makeup

Thinking the same thing.

not sure if these fucking refs are just in a flag fest mood the last 2 mins... but its nuts

I guess this color announcer didn't notice the Florida State DB grab the receiver's right arm and hold it down so he couldn't use it.
