Default Officials Reviews, College

Is it just me or is the review process in college games getting out of hand? I know they review EVERY play in the booth but shouldn't there be some control on them?
It seems every college game I have watched this year has several timeouts for review. They seem to make the games last longer and they really disrupt the flow.
Don't know what the answer is, just know the current situation seems ridiculous.

I agree completely. I'm all for getting important plays right, but it's taking up way too much time. At least, on Saturday, there are a lot of games on, as soon as I hear the word, "review', I'm off to another game.

LOL. Sounds like me...flipping between 4 or 5 games. Can't remember which one it was the other day, but thought I heard the commentators saying there had been like 7 review with 5, I think, over turning the officials!! Thats crazy.
Getting to the point where all they'll need is one referee...his only job will be to place the ball down. Video reviews will take care of everything else.
