The phantom call was not rigged for point spread purposes. It was rigged for ACC $ in terms of the upcoming playoff. If UNC wins ACC was shutout. No sense in allowing UNC a possible game tying score and forcing a OT where anything can happen. UNC would have had to been superior to Clemson to left with a W due to the lost $ it would have caused. Simply dollars,simple economics
It's the kinda call you make when*the call makes itself. THAT didn't happen. It was blatantly egregious but understandable due to big money.*Think how much money conference would lose if Clemson lost game.
