Even With the Win --- Just Another Poorly Officiated Game

[Sudden Impact]

Not sure how the CFP will set up for officiating, but it may not make a difference.
It should always be a concern and now an officiating crew could be classified as an unknown variable to the game.
We have witnessed bias calls and incompetent calls in our game as well as others.
It is as if the game has gotten away and too fast for the crews.
Games like ours today contribute to injuries as well.
I watch a lot of football and the cameras do catch what Refs do not, but something needs to done to catch missed calls. For example, ND player punch an USC player intentionally in the helmet while he was on the ground. This is bull crap.
Officiating for the CFP as will it will for the bowl games need to be able to hold officials accountable during or after the game.

This may have been the worst officiating call of the year.

Aren’t these full time jobs? Don’t these guys earn 6 figures for weekend travel and work?

EDIT: Oops I couldn’t have been more wrong. SEC officials are part time and earn $2500 - .$4000 per game (per ChatGPT).

Maybe that’s the issue?

Nope.

Absolutely trash. Don’t let @BigOrangeTrain see this though. His daddy is a ref and he will get very angry

The horse collar call was the biggest BS call of the year.

The horse collar call was the biggest BS call of the year.

That and the late hit on QB. Had him wrapped up and was going to ground.

 

[C-south]

Expect it to be worse in the playoffs.

 

[igotworms]

Expect it to be worse in the playoffs.

Especially v a big 10 team

1. There was a roughing passer (Pavia) call that was terrible
2. The no-call at the end of the game when squirrel got hit

 

[DaddyChad]

That and the late hit on QB. Had him wrapped up and was going to ground.

That pissed me off but it was hard to see for sure from where we were sitting. Looked like a clean hit. Then the other play on the two point conversion where the defender pulled up. You call that BS too much and defenders won’t pull up at all bc they figure they’re going to get flagged anyways.

Wtf happened to Campbell? We absolutely blasted #1 for Vandy. Appeared to be personal

Need a rule change to allow each team a challenge each half. If they overturn the call you keep your challenge. Don’t want to slow the game down even more, but the officials are changing the outcome of some games. The no call targeting on the GT QB fumble last night is a recent example of poor officiating changing the outcome of the game.

Campbell should have been ejected IMO. No room for that type action in the game.

The officiating was poor. We are an extremely undisciplined team and probably don’t get the benefit of the doubt on some of these close calls. We need to clean up our end before we get too worked up about the officiating.

Something really pissed him off. Not sure what but he was upset. His mom was above us in the stands; she was pretty livid as well. Not sure if something was said or if someone went low on him or what.

It’s a billion dollar sport; officials shouldn’t be this terrible at their jobs. If our “fans” would take less time taking up for the officials and throwing our team under the bus in the process maybe that could change.

I get sick every time I hear these announcers say “that was clean a couple yrs ago…but in this modern era…blah blah blah”. These announcers need to stand up for the game and at least acknowledge that was a shite call.

All college football officials are “part-time”.

I’m going to give you the benefit and assume that’s not directed at me. I didn’t throw our team under the bus. We’re 100+ in the country in penalties. We’re an extremely undisciplined team AND the officiating is poor. If you can’t accept that two things can be true then I don’t know what to tell you.

No they’re not full time… that’s the problem… they absolutely need to be

i can’t figure out what he was supposed to do once Pavia was up in the air. Gently lower him to the turf?

Correct. See my edit.

 

[GAVol]

The horse collar call was the biggest BS call of the year.

That one looked legit to me. Even if it was a bad call, I can see why an official would flag it.

Football and Men’s hoops need full time salaries officials. Especially with the revenue sharing money and realignment money that’s pouring into the league.
