Sports betting, crooked officiating will bury college sports years to come.

Some of these calls Bama got away with would have been immediately penalized had it been a different team.

Jayden Daniels taking a cheap shot with no review afterwards was icing on the cake.

Saban & Sankey are both cowards.

They aren't beating GA this year.

I'll be here. I'll stand with that. I'm not a fan of GA or AL but Bama doesn't have it this year, GA does.

Ok but that’s not the same thing as saying they won’t sniff the playoffs. They’re in the playoffs and control their own destiny up until the evening of Dec 2nd, so they’re definitely sniffing it.

Thanks for pointing out your excellent post about the refs.

We do agree. Refs are human. They screw up. I believe it evens out over time like most things with humans with decent intentions. I'm not of the opinion the refs are routinely biased.

I agree the SEC does the game a disservice by not employing better, professional refs and paying them to train and simply officiate better than they do. I've also said I believe they won't do that because it's not in the SEC's best interest to look like a pro football league.

So I think we're stuck, the SEC is stuck, the NCAA is stuck with refs that are poorly trained and poorly paid. It DOES make the product, the games, less enjoyable but we keep watching and they keep making money.

There's absolutely no reason in it for the NCAA or SEC to improve the quality of the officiating.

Y’all have been going back and forth for pages. I don’t know why but I read most of it. I guess I found it mildly entertaining.

Anyway, here’s where I sit.

1. Refs suck and it’s seemingly gotten worse since replay. Then again, maybe we just notice it more now that there are a billion cameras and angles. Regardless, they suck. Football, basketball, whatever. NCAA has an issue.
2. No doubt refs do appear to be slanted towards a team in a particular game. In general, I don’t believe it’s due to fixing the game but that does happen of course.
3. In general, when one team gets favorable calls over another it does tend to even out over the course of a game.
4. Calls don’t always even out though as refs are human and get caught up in the emotions of the game. I believe that sometimes leads to one team, usually the home team, getting more favorable calls.
5. Again, yes sometimes there’s flat cheating and I assume that ties back to money. That’s the exception. As a team we need to worry about what we can control because there’s too much we can’t, including officiating.

Perhaps "won't sniff" is too much but they're just not there this year to beat GA. I don't think it's that close but I should've known better than to doubt Bama publicly, but if it bites me..... it bites me. It's just how I see it this year.

I agree UGA is the better team this year and Bama’s secondary is suspect a lot. If they don’t get away with being handsy and physical then I see Beck and the WR having success against them.

Alabama gets favorable calls and their opponents get unfortunate calls against them. It is clearly seen on tape. They don't flag them when they obviously should and they will flag their opposition in 'timely' situations to keep Alabama from getting hurt too bad. I didn't want to believe it but too many instances over too many years says otherwise. Call it what you want.

It’s time to move the SEC headquarters out of Birmingham

Do you still think Bama will not be in the playoffs?

Because they won't win. If you have a 20% chance, 80 out of 100 times, you won't win.

Alabama isn't going to win. I'll be here. They won't. They aren't going to the playoffs.

Earlier you or someone said I'm a "Bama fan" but I'm arguing constantly they aren't going to the CFP. They're not. As we used to say, "Just hide and watch."

I'll be here. I'll wait to be laughed at if they do. They won't.

Of course it's bama. I had always figured if they beat Ga in the title game they would find a way to put em in!
