Ref's with a 12 / 16 playoff

[ftnfan62]

Is it time to for conference affiliated ref's to become extinct? I dont know if anyone watched the GA Tech game, but the SEC refs which I respect the most of all the conferences did win that game for UGA. From the targetting on the QB, to the holding calls missed that were blatant to the PI's in the endzone with little contact and one was a tipped ball.

I just wonder with what, maybe 20-30M on the line for UGA to miss the playoffs which would have happened and GA Tech with no chance, did their bias for an SEC and a home game?

Usually you see one bad call, but that game was really bad and I think 21 points can be credited to the officials. Social media and headline news (SI, On3, etc.) are calling that game a ref win.

Just dont know if Ref's should be affiliated to a conference going forward. Seems like there is enough money to make it a National organization, with standards and ratings and even regardless of team.

I would have definitely not called the 4th and goal PI, that just reeked of favoritism. UGA vs Bama does that get called? I don't know. It did not seem like egregious blatant PI at all. PI is so overcalled as it is. It's such a weapon for the refs and game-changing penalty. You could practically fix a game, with the refs in on it, with a handful of timely PI calls.

Apparently the buzz among pundits and within the cognoscenti is that the refs have been egregiously bad this year, speaking of 'egregious'. Not just the Texas game, but in general, all over the country.

You raise a valid point

The Refs should be from a conference not affiliated with the two teams playing

And who beat Georgia Tech 31-14 on a natural field... We get no credit. Going back to the game Tech shit down there leg with the fumble with 2mins left and 1 min to go they could of tried and get a field goal but just wanted to go to overtime bad coaching. You play to win the game there coach played scared.

Anyway GT was totally effed on that not-called targeting violation. I didn't even realize it at first because the TV crew didn't really talk about it, and the refs were seemingly hustling the fumble film review through as quick as they could. Because that was really effed up. That was obvious targeting. The only thing I can think of is no one saw it when it happened, in all innocence, and you're not allowed to notice it later on an unrelated film review and then invoke it. If that's the rule then I guess it was just a blown call. I suppose that is the rule, I can't remember what all the limitations of video reviews are and what is and is not deemed reviewable.

Completely agree with that as a start. Why not just nationalize them? Salary and proper training

I would guess, and just like UGA a win can put an additional B10 in. So there is a huge lean to call it in USC’s favor

Agree. There were huge holds on the tying drive also. Just no Tech refs and all UGA the last 5
