Alabama-South Carolina, 1967. At Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa. Stabler to Homan touchdown pass was a sight to see!

Some great hypothetical games were played on this thread, but that is all they are. '95 Nebraska was truly a great team, but I am old enough to remember the '71 Nebraska with Johnny Rogers. They laid the worst whipping on a Bear Bryant team that I can remember. Ironic that since Nebraska finally decided to ditch that "outmoded" option offense, they have never even come close to their former glory days. Will Bryant disciple Mike Riley be able to turn things around for them?
How would you like to have your life depend on a correct call by that officiating crew? They are the same crew that had called the Alabama Ole Miss game the previous week. When they screw up a call, there is no conspiracy involved- just predicable incompetence.

I find it ironic that Les Miles' ultimate fate came down to a review of one of their muffed calls.

Nationally, the Alabama - Tennessee game was the highest rated college game of the weekend, and only the second time this season the CBS SEC game has topped the charts. The first was Alabama - Georgia.

Overnight Ratings
Excellent point, and it should quietly close this thread.
I think the observation about the St. Louis and Kansas City markets and their impact on television contracts is spot on.

But I get mixed messages from folks from Missouri. The Missouri residents I have spoken with seem to be, as best, ambivalent about the move. But none of the friends I have who live there are Mizzou graduates. I am told that the move to the SEC is actually popular among rank and file fans and the Missouri Board of Regents, but not by the Mizzou administration, particularly its President.

It is a shotgun marriage in any event, but it is going to happen, and, I hope it will ultimately be beneficial for all concerned.
The quality of officiating is not uniform from crew to crew in the SEC. Some crews are awful. Some are good. Every team in the league has been the beneficiary of some bad calls. Some of them really bad. I don't think LSU or any other school gets worse/better treatment.
