Yes, the refs will absolutely protect Bama. Just like they protected FL and Iowa.

If no one believes that these things do not exist, please rewatch the Pitt/WVU game of '07 and how badly the refs were trying to take the game away from Pitt.
As far as our game, I don't see a HUGE risk for refs to do this. If we win, we have a great shot, along with Florida (and still Bama), to make it to BCS c'ship. ONE of us is going to play Texas in the big show.

When Joe Dean was LSU's AD, he had all the AD's in the conference poll their alumni chapters located in Birmingham on their opinion on relocating the SEC offices to another city. It was 100% for getting the offices out of Birmingham. Go to the baseball tourney & look up at the SEC's boxsuite & notice all the SEC blazer-wearing officials cheering for Bama. Happens every year.

we usually fair pretty good in tuscaloosa when it comes to getting calls to go our way. remember the "non pass interference call" in 05?

Of course. They will subconsciously protect their favorite.
The holding call is the most problematic; I've seen those refs stand right in front of obvious and blatant holding...and let it go. Other times...drop the dirty laundry. Now if that aint ripe for abuse...subjectivity...bias.
Hopefully...high profile criticism...will help to tamp it down. Clean game...best team wins...thats what we all want.

Need some tin foil hats in this thread.
Through 8 games for each team, Alabama has been penalized two more times than LSU. 5 SEC teams have been penalized less than Alabama.
