Texas will win by double digits.

Texas will win by double digits.

I mean I'd pick Tejas but I wouldn't bet the goat that it'll be double digits

You didn't hear it. Chris Fowler called him salty tonight at the end of the game.

Chris Fowler is a SLB too

The bitching gets old but you bring up some good points.

We have enough technology to evaluate officials and not have Birmingham schedule and evaluate officials.

I have no problem scheduling and paying officials based on independent review of their performance. For example, Texas and UGA would get the A crew and may get paid 10K each, for example. The Vandy Ball State game would get the lowest rated crew and they might make only 3K, for example...

Does nothing to fix what some in here believe was the reasoning for reversal, conference offices tampering.

I don’t think the SEC offices were protecting TX last night. If so, they clearly sucked at it. Best evidence presented was reversing a call that actually was right in the end.

He likes to sell the “we’re the underdogs and nobody believes in us” a lot. Which is odd after winning multiple championships

Do we move to 10? Or, with ISU narrow escape do we move to 9 and them drop to 10?

I'll be fine with 10 but I believe we go to 9.

I know, wgaf we beat Alabama.

I hope over the next couple of weeks things happen that help us move up further. That way, if we take another loss, we hopefully stay in the top 12 by the end

Actually, my plan would take all of the scheduling and reviewing out of the conference. No more Bama grads assigning officials. No more Bama fans like Steve Shaw reviewing officials. It would be a pure independent party that leverages technology to review, grade, and assign officials based on performance. If you get a Tier A assignment (such as Texas-UGA or TN-Bama), you are the highest rated crew and you get paid well (it might be 15K for the game). If you are the lowest rated crew, you get stuck with Vandy and Ball St and you may make 1,500 for the game...

For the record, I never believed that. I said don't review something that is non-reviewable by watching the jumbotron. Coaches can be flagged for insisting the refs look at it to make a decision.

As long as the SEC pays a bill associated with officiating, 3rd party or no, people will decry the conference playing favorites.

I know you didn’t make this argument, but why they would protect Texas last night makes no sense. SEC will get multiple teams into the playoff. 2 loss Bama and UGA seems to be more limiting to that vs 1 loss UGA, Texas, UT, etc.

Okay, I heard it from buddies via text chat and maybe muddied the water.

That's why I was pulling for UGA last night. Just like how LeBron can murder someone on the court when he has 5 fouls, we werent going to get a call if we played a 2 loss UGA in Athens....

I’m not certain what outcome was best for Vols, honestly. I’m not trusting that our offense is enough to make the officiating that important at UGA.

Take care of business from now on and the UGA game is for CFP seeding (win or lose)....

I like this, but the obvious problem is who’s going to be this “independent party”? And why will schools (or conferences) use them?

The logical initial thought would be NCAA-level, but they already put their thumb on the scales, and they’re on their way out anyway.

I’m having a hard time visualizing Fred’s Referees ‘R’ Us as a, what, participant? vendor? in this process.

Maybe. A 2 loss team may not get in.
