So, there are no conspiracies. I mean, what would be the incentive to manage game outcomes. Right.
All the officiating gaffes can 100% be attributed to happenstance, poor judgement, bungling. Right.
Josh, could the system be working exactly as intended? Are you really that clueless or are you part of the cover?

Anyone who cannot see conspiracies is not paying attention.

So funny, Josh...

All conferences do. We were protected when ISU got robbed of that scoop and score that would have beat us. Replay clearly showed it was a fumble at the goal line. they 100% got robbed as much as we got robbed in the ok state game while strong was HC.

it needs to be more transparent and there needs to be punishments for officials when they so poorly do their jobs.

the fact that every fan base can point to games, with evidence, that they got robbed is a problem, especially when that same crew is back at work the next week.

I think it is funny everyone is now saying OU will skull drag Texas. I dont see anyone doing that against the Texas front 7.

I lean OU but if Texas can get a downfield passing game and RBs get healthy they have a shot


If OU can't find a run game in the next 2 weeks, Texas wins by 2 scores.

So AU had the lead with 5 minutes to play. What calls by refs happened to cause them to give up that last TD?

Auburn robbed?
Hate to see it. Please refer to Auburn having refs rob LSU in 2004 and 2006-especially 2006 concerning PI.

Cry more Auburn.
But you did get objectively hosed.

Who said that? If anything, it might be another rock fight similar to our game against Auburn.

If they were protecting OU, why did they call a 15 yard penalty on OU that gave Auburn the ball first and goal at the 4 yard line midway through the 4th quarter? Auburn scored on the next play to go ahead with just 7 minutes left in the game.

That is a hell of a way to protect Oklahoma and ensure they would win.

Maybe they just sucked?

By that time, officiating was getting roasted on national TV. Also bad for business.

My problem isnt so much the on-the-field calls as much as it is replay. Time and again the replay will not show anything conclusive, yet they overturn the call on the field anyway. The rule book says replays need conclusive and obvious evidence. They do not abide by that at all.

You are exactly right. The ACC is way ahead of the rest of college football on this. It would be very helpful to have this kind of transparency, so that even if fans disagreed, they would know where the officials were coming from. It would help tamp down the conspiracy theories.

Auburn scored on this drive, but still had to use time to get there and the ref misses an obvious PI call. Just bizarre.
