Several people have asked for it...why doesn't someone post up a full video showing where the player was actually tackled.
Everyone is saying this is full proof of cheating, yet know one is acknowledging that you only have part of the evidence.
And to add to all of this...spotting the ball isn't an exact science. I think the ref's do a pretty damn good job game-in and game-out being fair despite whats happening in front of them is happening very fast and sometimes without the benefit of a clear view of the runners knees or elbows as he's being tackled.

Says the Bama fan, who, 80% of the time, works in your fricking favor.

The debate isn't if the spot is correct. The debate is more of why the ball moved almost a yard ahead while making the spot. If his point of reference was on the sideline then that should be where he was looking the whole time, no problem. If he wasn't the person making the actual spot there is no need for him to mark it.

I don't believe any refs are being "bribed" per se, but there is a definite bias toward some teams ( you know who you are Bama and Auburn). If these calls and non-calls continue to happen in favor of certain teams, it's called a trend, and most people without crimson colored glasses see it.
If you want more proof of ref bias, rewatch the LSU/Auburn '06 game at Auburn. I was there, worst officiated game I've ever seen.
