The SEC refs would be better off sometimes just keeping the flag in their pocket but of course during the LSU Bama game they picked up two flags against Bama as no calls.

SEC refs have always loved to dictate some of these games over time and if the Fox guy Perreia is right and there is some secret person working behind the scenes than the SEC has a lot of explaining to do to restore credibility.

Maybe the new commish will put this on the agenda!

A guy with his resume doesn't haphazardly throw around conspiracy claims.

You won't hear any response from anyone associated with the SEC on this.

Think about this in regards to the PF call against Vadal Alexander this past Saturday night. 2 weeks prior in the Ole Miss game at a critical point in the game, Bo Wallace head butts Jamaal Adams 3 feet from an official. Another official just happens to hear verbal abuse from a different LSU player on the field in order to offset this penalty and not let it affect the outcome of the game.

Yet, an official in the Alabama game, even after meeting with other officials with many different viewpoints, happens to catch Vadal Alexander shoving a defensive player after the play, that simultaneously has his hands around Alexander's thigh, pulling him away from the play.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what was the Alabama player doing grabbing him in the first place. Was there a fumble on that play? Do you really think an LSU player is going to be in the mindset to get a personal foul after getting a gift from the Heavens fumble with a minute left on Alabama's 5 yard line?

Or could it be that they were trying to bait a reaction that would give an official a chance to help?

It is incompetence at best, and deliberate at worst.

And, I will even leave another thought to ponder, since you brought Perriera and the SEC up.

If Alabama had lost Saturday night, giving them 2 losses, after Auburn had already lost to A&M earlier, this puts the SEC in a precarious position.

Now, Miss St., an 8 point underdog at Tuscaloosa, could lose there, then go into Oxford and lose a second time.

Does the SEC want everyone with 2 losses, taking a chance at giving a committee the potential to leave them out of the playoff? Tens of millions, even a hundred million dollars.

I just can't be that naïve.
