A thumb in the eye of the SEC

[barney]

I am now cheering for maximum chaos after the total screwjob performed by SEC officials against Tennessee this year. Remember, 11 quarters against an SEC oppenent without a single live ball foul. Meanwhile if a Tennessee player even thinks of holding its called.

Heres what could happen without the obvious and corrupt influence of the SEC officiating office:
1. Tennessee knocks off Georgia.
2. Alabama loses to Auburn
3. Alabama beats Georgia in the SEC championship
4. Texas, Florida State and Washington OR Oregon win out.

Here's hoping this is how things play out. Its exactly what the Birmingham Alabama SEC suits deserve after the obvious and corrupt bias we've been subjected to this year.

If what you're saying is true, and I'm not disputing that it is, get ready to see the Vols set the record for most penalties in a game if its close.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This is a two team league. Nobody else is relevant. No amount of officiating injustice can account for the disparity in talent those two teams have over everybody else. They lose Heisman QBs and then have another Heisman candidate to replace them. It is frustrating and sickening.

Remember when Bama couldn’t get an elite QB but the WR’s and RB’s were heisman contenders? My point is that just about anyone you plug into that elite talent is going to have a great year. It just happens that the QB’s Bama is playing can scramble now.

With the talent and the biased officiating, hardly anyone can out coach and out execute either team. Take a bunch of linemen who play exceptional football but their few holds get called while Bama’s line plays sloppy but don’t receive penalties at all. That’s when it becomes near impossible to catch them on a bad day.

 

[OrangeInKy]

My man.
I decided long ago I wanted chaos and if the Vols aren’t a contender , the rest of the SEC should lose.

Its what makes them different. This is more of an influence than any officiating will ever be. We can cry until the cows come home. You want to play in Atlanta, start recruiting like this. It was Smart's sixth year before he won a Natty. Look at the recruiting that got him there.

If #4 happens the committee is already saying bama is behind Oregon and Texas.

Right now a 1 loss Georgia or Alabama isn’t a slam dunk for the playoff.

This is so true. I feel that if we can string a few winning seasons together, the top recruiting classes will come. Kids want to be the best and play for the best.

The SEC already has people to prevent this from happening.

 

[wmcovol]

The penalty difference will be 10-1 in both Tenn-Ga & Ala-Aub game in favor of the favorites.

Come on man, the obvious answer is poor coaching, undisciplined play, poor play calling, and not enough talent.

I think with fair officiating we win the UF and Bama games.

 

['Boro-vol]

I have always said, let chaos reign. If nobody else in the SEC ever won, I’d be fine with that. If I could only figure out how to make two teams on the field both lose at the same time, I’d be happy.

 

[SAPPER 5]

The O/U on Tyler Barron chokeholds this week is 6.5.

 

[volfan102455]

I hope for chaos as well. Would not hurt my feelings one bit if the SEC was left out of the CFP.

If we played like we played against Bama in the first half for the entire game we can and will beat UGA and the chaos will begin.

Everyone that has tickets needs to be there and be loud. Mustard bottles are optional.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

I'm all for the chaos theory and getting new blood into the playoffs.

The mental gymnastics either Bamas fanbase with an SECCG win or a Georgia team with an upset loss and an SECCG win ( both ending up with 1 loss) would go through to justify getting in over an undefeated team would be a sight to see.

And there has been some egregiously bad officiating this season, not just in the SEC but across the country.

But this team has played incredibly stupid and uninspired football in more than a few games now this year.

Last week and the second half of that Alabama game along with the first half against FL was more the team getting their a$$es kicked in the trenches than any conspiracy.

 

[midtnvol2]

I think with fair officiating we win the UF and Bama games.

This team wasn’t mentally ready to beat Florida regardless of officiating. They crapped the bed down there as they do every game there. Bamer game was a 2nd half disaster by the coaches and players.

I am glad you posted this. I want to remind people that there is a huge difference of top 3 to maybe even 5 class than top 10-15. How many teams that feel they had a great class including us in the 12 range with Butch. Yet never sniff any pinnacle of success. The game changer players stacked together to make those top 3 or so keep the winning ways in that small circle of teams that recruit that elite.

 

[volfan102455]

Besides the talent gap - the team is very inconsistent. Yes there has been missed calls that would have mattered and I am tired of two teams getting the benefit of the doubt if the call can go either way - but the team seems to let those work against them, rather than those making them angry and motivated.

 

[JRich]

Yeah... I'm in.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Seeing the SEC kicked out of the playoff would warm by cold heart. Not sure why we are supposed to root for the rich to get richer.

 

[MississippiVOLS]

I’d love for the chaos to happen but it won’t. SEC will not risk missing the playoffs, so the officials will make sure of it.

Bama and UGA will win out. Depending on how the rest of the top 8 shakes out right before the SECCG, Bama beats UGA. That should get 2 SEC teams into the playoffs. Bama is on the edge so they’ll need a little help from the other leagues. If they don’t get the help, UGA wins the SECCG.

 

[volfeeva]

Why not set up a large viewing screen along the sidelines in clear view by the ref's, and replay still pics of our defensive guys being held in the game . Basically force the ref's to see what they are ignoring. Or maybe run them on the jumbotron over and over.
