Fan bias?

Bottom line is all refs have some slight bias
That's the problem. I don't care who is a graduate of what school, if you are an official, in any conference, everyone expects the ref to be a neutral body and call the game equally and fair.
Marcel Dareus speared JJ right with the crown of the helmet in one of the games JJ was the QB here and there was no flag. Not even a review. I'm aware the review for targeting didn't exist then but targeting did. There are 6 refs out there and not one said, "Hmmm, maybe that's a no no."
Showing bias to one team, even if that team is "supposed to be better" is irrelevant. Goes back to being a neutral body calling the game fairly.
Refs are expected to call the games fairly. I don't think that's too much to ask.

money generating schools with the best playoff hopes
Unless things have changed, the money generated doesn't stay with the team that goes to the playoffs. It's dispersed equally to all the teams in the SEC. It isn't limited to just one team.
That's why teams left the Big 12. Texas gets a huge chunk of the revenue and other teams get little. It simply isn't fair.

Can you send me the stats on calls for and against lsu and whether or not each call was fair? That's what i mean by fan bias. The shitty ones will always be more easily remembered than the ones that helped us win.

I 100% agree with you. That's why i don't like not having a central officiating body not tied to any conference, but even then i believe some bias will exist as refs are humans as are all of us. Yes we hold them to a higher standard due to their role in the game, but a) refs will screw up calls...they are human and b) bias exists in everyone...we are all human.
It is what it is, and only technology could help improve playcalling at this point.

Right. My pointvwas that the SEC officials report to SEC HQ. Therefore, it is in their best interest (consciously or not) to make sure the SEC team with the best playoff hopes and win probablility makes it to the playoffs. Officiating a game in favor of that team gives your conference the best chance to generate more revenue.
