re: Regardless of how we do on the field. The league office will not allow LSU to win

The fans aren't the ones throwing flags. Yes, some calls have gone our way but more haven't gone our way. That's what the premise of this thread is about.

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.

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.

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.

Unless things have changed, the money generated doesn't stay with the team that goes to the playoffs. They get a big chunk of revenue, don't get me wrong, fans traveling, media promotions, so forth, but it's dispersed to all the teams in the SEC.

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.
