I did some more digging and found an NCAA document entitled "NCAA Rules 
Committee Major Changes 2009-10". Section 12-3 lists reviewable plays in 
much the same fashion as the Big XII document cited by Brad. It then 
concludes:

"No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However, the 
replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving 
the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable."

Was this - a split-second delay in stopping the clock - an "egregious" 
error? The term means extraordinarily bad, glaring, or flagrant, but I 
suppose the person deciding that is the person who performs the review, 
so I think we're done here. I wonder why they couldn't use that same 
rule to overrule a pass interference call on an egregiously overthrown 
ball. Oh, well.
