College football replay officiating question of sorts

I

ixnay

Is officiating with replays possible at every college FB game?

Because with the Football Bowl Subdivision (the former Division 1-A) having 117(?) programs, that's a lot of games to televise OTA or on cable.

Do they have replay officiating in the Football Championship Subdivision (the former Division 1-AA)? Division II? Division III? NAIA? :) (Probably not the last three.)

The NCAA's Division I-AA [I-FCS], II and III playoffs use replay officiating. No word on whether the NAIA playoffs have that as well.
 
All I know is that in college football every play
is subject to review by the officials, but (as in
the NFL) a coach can challenge but is charged
with a timeout if he loses the challenge. I don't
think college has the NFL rule that only the officials
in the booth can call for a replay in the last two
minutes of each half.

College coaches don't win many challenges; in
the Georgia-Florida game Georgia coach Mark Richt
challenged a call that awarded Florida a first down
when it looked like Tim Tebow's knee hit the ground
before he reached the first-down marker. The officials
stuck by their call--one of umpteen things that went
wrong for Georgia in that game. I think Verne Lundquist
said the ratio of successful challenges by coaches this
year was 1 out of 9, and the ratio is probably lower now.
 
I don't care how longer the games will get I want all plays in the NFL subject to booth review. The current challenge rule allows for too many bum calls to pass because the staffs don't want to lose time outs if the refs don't see it their way.
