You don't have to be a detective to figure out that some Bama donors are tossing money at the replay office in Birmingham. Not to mention they're Bama alums taking part in these reviews.

Which touchdown got called back because of a replay official?

Yes that was a legitimate hold and a missed call. That video is undeniable.

During the postgame press conference, one of the A&M defenders was called for targeting.

Hey if you want to jump on that be my guess, but you should objectively look at other televised games inside and outside the Sec. Calls are missed in games that affects the outcome.

Yes, calls are missed, and many of them are justified because they are bang-bang. The fumble on saturday, for example...I have no issue with the ref calling him down because it was close in real time. The decision not to review it though? That's not a missed call. That's negligence at worst. If the situations were reversed and it was a State RB that fumbled, it would have gotten reviewed and we all know it.

On the phantom block in the back...that's the second year in a row that State had a glaringly obvious mistake go against them against Alabama that had a direct impact on the game, so you will forgive State fans for being pissed about it. Neither of the calls were even close enough to give the ref the benefit of the doubt. They both were so bad that they rightly create controversy because any referee with more than a pea-sized brain and an ounce of common sense doesn't flag that block in the back, or does flag Ridley for being out of bounds before catching that pass.

People who say Alabama doesn't get favorable treatment from the refs can't defend those two calls, so they can't defend their position.

I think they get too many gifts from the refs.
1. they don't need it.
2. it really takes away from their real accomplishments.

If you're driving the speed limit, see a cop, and slam on the brakes, he's going to be pretty suspicious of what you're doing. If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have no need to slam on the brakes. The second this guy put his arms in the air, he was dead.

He was dead hands up or down.

The next play was also a noteworthy, when a delay of game penalty was called. I understand that a delay of game penalty is a dead ball foul, but in this case the ball is snapped and a receiver makes the catch in the endzone for a td..then the QB is flagged for delay of game. This is interesting, even if the delay of game was the correct call. It's the way it was called.

Bottom line - Alabama is getting help to make it to the top. Even though Alabama is the best team in the country, which is true, it also aided by reproduction.

he block in the back play was bad but the MSST defender did trip the Bama player and he put his hands up trying to keep from getting the call, that drew attention of the ref who assumed he pushed the Bama player. No conspiracy ... should have been a tripping penalty if anything.

This post will go as they all do.

Most Bama fans will correctly point out that game was horrendously called, in Bama's favor. They will also correctly point out the LSU game was horrendously called in LSU's favor. This will be ignored because it goes against the preferred narrative. They will also point out the stats that objectively show Bama is screwed by penalties way more often than their opponents. This will also get ignored. And the rant keeps on turning.
