Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I do not watch porn...it disgusts me. The only reason I know any of this is because a whole bunch of different YouTubers I subscribe to were doing reaction vids about the Danish guys documentary about this mess.

On the one hand I think that the expanded playoff benefits teams like Tennessee because it makes us a contender and stops funneling all the talent to the same 5-6 programs every year.

But sometimes I wonder if the sport would be better off going back to the BCS days, having two teams play for the championship, and having the outcome of bowl games mean something again. Especially NY6 bowls and the bowls just below those. I remember how pumped I was to go to the Outback Bowl after the 2015 season. Felt like we had taken a step.

One of the best parts about CFB is that at the end of the season, many teams could be happy even if they didn't win it all because they made and won a bowl game. But we're headed towards the NFL landscape where no one is happy unless they win it all.

Sadly, I’m afraid this is true.

It's not an either/or for a competent organization. Just for the NCAA.

Rutgers 3 at the buzzer.

The state university of NJ. Hilarious that unlike literally every other state, they don't mention NJ in their name. Just "Rutgers".

I went back to our 2021 Music City Bowl thread (starting around page 100) to find some posts about the officiating. Here's just a few. Even Oda was mad!

Call the tug and Mcgrath nails it.

The difference bwtween a win and possible loss.

Ridiculous. They've called eleventy hundred PIs on us tonight and they can't even call a CLEAR one for us.

Just another screwing at the hands of refs.

These POS officials aren’t gonna let us win.

Can’t believe Tillman hold wasn’t called.

Dude spotted us short again!!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!



screw job incoming

That's not fair. We played a bad game but the refs just stole it from us. Stole it!

This will be the third loss where we beat the team but not the refs.

That was the most egregious officiating I've ever witnessed. The refs had to have money on it.

Nobody gets screwed more than TN. No one.

Refs stole an Elite Eight from us when we played Purdue in 2019. Now this. Just unbelievable.

3 times this year foward progression has costed us a win

I would never play in a bowl game with ACC officials. That's 2 games they've cost us this season. It's not just the last call. It was the whole game. The obvious bias can't be argued against.

UT always gets these games. The unreal penalties, the gamechanging calls and the totally absurd losses. Twice under Dooley. It's just inexplicable.

Ocho has spoken!

Pretty much everyone on social media is holding the ACC officials accountable. Only ones in denial are UT haters. The logical ones know it was a bad call.

Nobody from UT will say anything publicly. They never do. At most, UTAD will send a polite letter to the SEC noting their grievances, Sankey will ignore it and the inept officiating, bias and look-the-other-way nonsense will continue as it has for years. The SEC wants member institutions to take their multi-millions, shut up and support the gravy train that keeps everyone fat and happy. And UT seems to be content to do exactly that.

We lost because we were screwed by the refs.

When officials make a bad call or miss one there are only two reasons that happens. One it's an honest mistake, whether by incompetence or simply didn't see it correctly. Or two, they have bias. This game, these officials had a bias, at least in my eyes. Now that's brings forth the question of motive. That's what really needs to be investigated. Is there an anti-UT or Anti-SEC bias? Or, is it something more sinister, i.e. gambling or paid influence? There needs to be accountability and these officials should have to answer for it. Until there is some real penalties and some real investigation, at least when it's blatant as the other night, the integrity of the game should be called into question.

Will it happen? Only when Saban comes out on the short end.

I don't care to get beat but I HATE GETTING CHEATED

Please don't let us get screwed by the refs again. .

I wish we could find the offensive equivalent of Jermod McCoy in the porthole this cycle.

They switched the call to PF Roughing the Passer. Which was the correct call..
