Big 10 officials

This was the same crew that Harbaugh was pissed about 2 years ago for handing Ohio State the game. It's a catch 22, you point out the glaring deficiency's and the make you a whiner. This crew missed so many egregious calls that I think the proper course is an investigation.

Dan Capron, the Big10 sent one of their most critized refs to do the most important game of the year. The playoff committee allowed this shite.

Both teams deserved better.

Believe the ACC has the best crews.

same crew that was suspended 15 years ago from officiating any more games due to incompetence.

Huh ? Is there a story?

My dad really thinks games are rigged. I think that’s a wahoo conspiracy theory but the onesidedness of that game and how bad the missed calls were leaves open the opportunity for question in that regard.

The pass interference on Malcolm Parrish was a crap call and it was the closest to the fence IMO.

Dan Capron is the only suspended one (2002) that was on the crew for the NC.

The more I thought about it yesterday the more pissed I got. I didn't make a big deal of it during the game because we still had the lead and I wanted to believe we could hold on. But in hind sight 4 missed calls in particular were inexcusable and played a huge factor in the outcome.

1) The offsides on the Punt. It was clearly not offsides and we would have had the ball at around the 15. Should have been 3 more points, hopefully more.
2) The Non-Call on the Face mask on Swift. 15 Yards plus an automatic first down. We would have eaten up a few more minutes and possible gotten into FG territory.
3) The punch to the back of the head of Fromm right in front of the Ref. Another 15 yards, a 1st down, more time off the clock. I can't recall field position at the time but I think it was near mid-field.
4) False start on the 4th down touchdown. The WR clearly moved before the snap. That would have taken the 6 off the board and they would have had to try again from 10 yards further out.

I am proud of my Bulldogs on the season but I feel like they were screwed in this game in the most important moment.

yeah and he was the main guy. Why even put him out there?

I can maybe kinda sorta understand the continuity thing of wanting crews that have worked together, but on a stage as big as this they should just take the highest graded out official at each "position" over the course of the season and put them together. Even if they've never worked together why does that matter? It's not like you're going to see holding or interference better if you know the guy on the other side of the field's name.

Vegas was upside down on this game and needed UGA to win or cover. Unless any potential rigging came from SEC or network officials, I don't see any reason this would've been officiated to intentionally favor Bama.

I mentioned it in another thread, but that's the halftime adjustment I'm waiting on: "They're not calling holding, boys, so grab some jersey and don't let go till you hear the whistle...."

I agree it sounds crazy that it was rigged. My only point is that the calls were so bad and so one way they leave themselves open for conspiracy. Esp when they don’t discipline or call their own kind out for getting it wrong.

I don’t think it was rigged but the calls were so bad!!!
