quote:I will take some of this. The reason is simple. Money. Bama is the face of the SEC franchise and they make lots of money because of it. It is just the way of P5 football now. Each of the conferences does this to a greater or lesser extent to ensure they get a team (or in our case, teams) into the CFP. Have to protect that money program.
What is the reason LSU fans believe the SEC is actively cheating for Alabama?
I can remember when LSU played UGA in the SECCG (fairly certain this was in 2003). It was abysmally officiated solely for the purpose of keeping LSU in the national championship picture. Even I was embarrassed by the obvious slant by the SEC officials.
In regards to the total number of penalties called against Alabama, please. It is not the total number. It is when they do (or don’t occur) during the course of the game. When the score is tight, early in the game Alabama is apt to get more close calls (or non-calls) than their opponents. When the game is salted away (21 point lead or more late in the 3rd quarter) then flags will begin to come out against Alabama. This is not because the refs are told to. It is because everyone understands you have to protect the SEC brand. And right now that is Bama.
There is no conspiracy out of Birmingham. There is no secret communication or payoffs to the refs. Everyone understands what needs to be done. And they do it.
ETA: My bad. It was actually the LSU vs UGA game in 2009. Officiating was absolutely horrendous.

Very well said.
As Ive said in other threads, all people want to see is a fairly officiated game. Fans can accept when two teams laid it on the line and one emerged as the winner that day. But it takes away from the win when you have blantantly obvious shite that just happens to go unseen when the game is tight or when a team all of a sudden gets momentum. If you are going to let the players be physical during the game, you cant call some ticky tack shite at the end. THATS the kind of shite that pisses fans off to no end.

So please the 2015 Ol' Miss game where bad officiating gave Ol' Miss 3 TD's, including the game clincher where an OL was 7 yards down field on a pass.
What happened? REC check bounced?
Bama has been jobbed by the refs for years including the 9-6 game, the Kick 6 game, and the last Auburn game.
