re: Conference officials

Wouldn’t it have looked better for Bama if SC had won yesterday?? And I don’t see why they would have a particular interest in putting their reputation on the line so blatantly to get UF to win. I think for the most part they’re just incompetent and safe from criticism, which is horrible combination. I say pay them more and make them available to reporters after games. Not saying SC would’ve won yesterday because we did shoot ourselves in the foot in the red zone at least once, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a game in which 14 points were directly the result of two calls that were that obvious yet missed. You can 100% without a doubt take 14 points away from UF with just reasonably competent officials. Again, not saying we would’ve won, but call back that 75 yard TD run to 10 yards past the marker where the longest hold in college football history began and it changes the dynamics a lot.
