What game do the refs change the outcome in this week?

No doubt they'll swing some calls for auburn at home.

I am planning to do a penalty yard tracker for the games this weekend.
I'll track average penalty flags and penalty yards per game and show what they were for each SEC game this week.
The big question to me is who gets the preferential treatment between Georgia and Ole Miss?

I'm torn on this one. I would say they ball out for Ole Miss to pave the way for Alabama, but that game precedes TSIO so they can't take the chance on that working. If GA wins, then Bama definitely gets the shaft.

They seem to be under control when calling games in Austin.

That’s didn’t last week and aren’t going to this week.

Tenner is fricked. Refs won't let Bammer lose.

The Refs are dominant this year.

The total number of penalties and overall penalty yards oftentimes is immaterial. As far as the refs impacting the game, the main factors are:
1. When a penalty is called
2. When a penalty is not called
It’s all about the when. That’s how the refs impact the outcome of the game. Not the number of calls, it’s the timing.

I'll consider adding this element to the tracking. What I am looking for is shifts in volumes of calls for playoff favorable teams vs non-favorable teams. But you have a valid point.

What they’ve done to Arkansas is criminal

It’s one of the oldest tricks the SEC refs pull. When the game is early and not yet decided, they’ll call something like holding to stall out a drive, or PI to keep a drive going, depending on how they want the gam to go. They’ll do this sort of things to influence the game until the outcome is assured. Then late in the game they’ll throw some flags on the team they’ve been helping. This gives them the cover of being able to say “how can anyone say we favored so-and-so team when we threw as many, or even more, flags against them?

I know they’ve been bad so far this season, but have they been so terrible that they resulted in another team winning the game?
Or just the scores would have been closer?

Proof reading helps.
Also according to Josh Pate, the final 2 min of the first half took 36 actual minutes. That's insane.

I agree. Also, some of the biggest impacts come from non-penalty calls, like spotting the ball, whether a QB crossed the goal line, etc.

Well, at least, the refs are now spreading the wealth (favored calls). In the past, it was bama, bama, bama getting all the right calls.

Other times, they'll flip it around and throw a bunch of tick-tack 5-yard penalties on the home team in the first half, and then gift that team in the second half with costly penalties on the visiting team.
But it all "balances out" on paper at the end of the game. Does the SEC think we're that stupid?
