re: The best team didn't win....

So what about when a ref gives a team a fifth down (Big 12 game a few years ago)?

When Bama lost to La Tech, they were the better team. Just played like shite on that day.

But I agree that, in 99% of the games, the best team wins.

These are the exceptions and they usually only decide close matches between equal teams. The competency of the refs is like the quality of the turf. Its part of the field.

Yeah.. I get pissed when they don't get it right, but their effect on the overall outcome at large is greatly exaggerated.
