Thanks for the article! That said, I've missed a lot of the conversation about this topic, but what am I missing here:

1. Cal scored the same amount of touchdowns as TCU

2. Cal missed an extra point

Therefore, ceteris paribus, all things being equal, all other extra points being made by either team, we lose by 1 point even if we don't chase the points. Isn't that end of story?

Also, with respect to this article, re: what Ragle said about the crucial make or break 0.06 seconds during the extra point attempt... I know mistakes sometimes happen, but to rationalize extra points? I mean, imagine how complex the processes and timing are involved with chewing gum and walking at the same time? In a millisecond, you could collapse into a pile of goo! Just a small cluster neurons misfiring. That's all it takes, and the window for error is so small! Boom, done!
