Did you see the explanation given to Kiffin as to why they did not blow the play dead? It was not because the runner was still progressing. It was because he was afraid to blow it...

quote:

If every team feels like they are being screwed by the refs, maybe it's perception more than reality.

---

If you think we are bad go to a game in Bryant Denny when Bama is losing. In 2019 and Moss did his toe-tap at the goal line the crowd went ballistic. It wasnt just bad call opinions. It was "who the hell do you think you are calling that BS against Bama" bad. People were screaming that Saban would have the refs fired by the end of the game etc...

Looked like it got ugly there yesterday as well...

quote:

It's pitiful to see ref blaming. Calls could have been better, but there is no grand conspiracy.

---

May not be a grand conspiracy but there is absolutely a human factor bias that is somewhat subconcious to the home team and/or the heavy favorite.

quote:

---

No. Because you would need OM and Uk to win at least 9 games for them to be “quality losses”

---

UK does not have a tough game left on their schedule. They could easily make 11-1.

OM has 3 tough games with Mizzou, Tex, and UGA.

Bama has nothing difficult left outside of LSU

Texas has 2-3 tough games. Mizzou, OM, LSU, and aTm at CS last game of season... maybe the Aggies get spunky.

So if we run the table and
UGA wins out or drops 1 they are in SECCG
If UK wins out they are in.

That would leave UGA, UK in CFP and LSU, Bama, and Tx at 10-2...
In this scenario OM could beat UGA and be 10-2 also.

Hopefully LSU sits this one out, dodged a bullet with the Michigan QB, who was also going to the highest bidder

---

There was a story/post on here in the last week that LSU had maxed out their offer. Hope they stick to that

quote:

I am far from the biggest LSU homer on this board. That said, every 50/50 call, every time there’s any input from an outside influence, i.e. referees, it will go against LSU this season. The code red has been ordered and Sankey is dragging his nuts across LSU right now. Expect more of the same bullshite.

---

I am not a big ref conspiracy guy but bear in mind that by human nature bias exists and in football often to the home team or the overwhelming favorite. I was suspicious though last night when the announcers called the punt return good before any replay was initiated and they were empatic about it. That ruling would have stood either way dependng on whether called in or out.

quote:

---

I just don't remember any discussion of the reasons at the time.

---

IIRC the explanation was the committee abandoned the runner assistance penalty because of a poor consistency of application.

7 but expecting 9/10.

quote:

---

How is this not blown dead?

---

I looked up the rule on this for forward progress on the goal line.

Once he loses his footing and he is not moving forward FP is marked and play should be called dead. I am not sure what it would be if he had no footing and was just being pushed.


One place we screwed up on that play was to get under the runner and/or get a reverse push on the ball itself.

quote:

---

One more loss still makes the playoff

---

No way.

However, if we win out Texas and Bama will also be 10-2 and we would have head to head over them.

That being said; that probably aint happening.

quote:

---

The QB never stopped moving forward, why would they blow the whistle?

---

Even the announcers said he got stonewalled.
