You're missing the point. I don't want examples of poor officiating or missed calls.
WHY would the SEC conspire to cheat for Bama?

Not saying I’m sold, but if you really are interested in a line of thinking:
SEC wants playoff spots and especially championships. $
Bama has been the best team and has the best chance to get voted in and best chance to win. Get the benefit of the doubt rather than cost the league
Some have felt other great teams throughout the years may have gotten the same treatment against non contenders too
10mil is nothing crazy buts it something, not to mention the indirect benefits to the conference. If it’s an important moment in a close game against a 2+ loss conference foe (most years a UGA isn’t on the other side) i don’t think it’s completely crazy to imagine the conference not eliminating itself from the big stage.
I imagine you’d find a lot of 9-10 figure entities aren’t above quietly ensuring their cash flow through unethical means
In the reality the whole SEC office in Birmingham, Mark Emmett being the head of the NCAA, and Bama being by far the best program in the country is just naturally going to get people going. Could be nothing, could be something, but people always look for reasons why someone is doing it better. A lot of you will too when someone else is on top

What other evidence do you fricking think exists. If there was evidence beyond that then top officials in Birmingham would be in prison.
You basically just said what other evidence exists out there except the evidence
You Alabama fans are a dumb fricking group of people

Because major blown calls like that keep Alabama in championship contention, moron.

SEC office stocked with Bama grads
Mark Womack, Bama alum, was in charge of scheduling during the "bridge" seasons and Bama miraculously drew Missouri and Kentucky from the east. LSU drew Georgia and USCe (when they were good).
Dick Burelson, SEC ref for decades, was a well known Bama fan and was the replay official supervisor for the PP7 int

Bama winning is very profitable for the SEC. Very. Bama is iconic and has a very large, national fanbase. They have the best chance every year of winning a national title. It makes perfect sense for Bama to get calls and non-calls in SEC play. A winning Bama is a winning SEC.
Much like the Patriots or the Bulls with Jordan or the Lakers with Kobe or any team with Lebron...the big stars get calls or non-calls. Saban gets calls. It's just the way it is. Saban is the best college football coach in history -- refs don't want to let him down; it's part of the psychology of sports.
Mix Bama being profitable for the league, Saban, the best players, and a program willing to win and any cost -- it's deadly for the rest of the SEC and nation. Unbeatable.
