Just on ESPN Roundtable... SEC in bed with Florida on Flags.

Seemed that way by some of the terrible calls.

quote:

---

2 out of 3 hosts said the calls in the FL/ARK game were suspicious. "Seems that the SEC is pulling for Florida and Tebow."

---

I have never been one to think something like that but it sure looks that way. Those two calls were so obviously fricked up that you have to think that they were on the take.

Which two?

---

PI and PF on same FL possession.

SEC refs are incompetent at best.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.
It seems to me they called the game exactly as instructed to.

And not a single call on baby Jesus, I mean Tim "Jesus loves me but hates the homeless" Tebow, for pounding his chest and jumping up and down every time he made a gain of more than 1 yard. Yet, A.J. Green and Charles Scott are penalized for game-changing touchdowns with less than 10% of baby Jesus, I mean Tebow's, celebration. A double standard?

I personally have no problem with Tebow,wish LSU had him. From what I gather he is a heckuva young man. With that said, yeah, I agree with you on the double standard. AJ and Chuck were called for "bringing attention to themselves" while supposedly TT did not. I say bs on that. For TT it may have been internal and unintentional but he definitely brought attention to himself. Plus, Chuck said he was pointing towards God when he pointed at the sky. Just saying.... Does make you wonder about the refs for sure.

With that said, Dorsey celebrated after every big play. It goes both ways.

Well at leas we only have this last year with Tebow.

I do think he is a stand up fella but these calls were fricking nuts. Money corrupts. Who knows how far.

I think it is clear that the SEC refs will call the game in favor of the team that they think has the better chance of going to the national championship game.
Remember the Auburn RefGate game? That year Auburn was supposed to be the best in the SEC, so the refs wanted to be sure they didn't get tripped up on the way. Ironically, LSU might have gone to the NC without the stolen game...

Great point. I've always felt the refs protected Auburn, and were actually protecting the wrong team.
