I don't believe there is a bias, just terrible officiating in general in the SEC.
I think this is a big part of it too. There is certainly human bias in all levels of officiating, that can never be eliminated. But I also think that the talent of the league's players is much higher than the talent of the league's referees in the SEC.
Of course, the league could avoid this entire conversation/criticism all-together if they hired a third party outside of the Southeast to organize/hire officials. Seems like a pretty simple solution to me.

I think there needs to be some better direction given to officials when watching a replay. The only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the fumble at the goal line in the Auburn-Arky game was that it was NOT a TD, he fumbled before the goal line. The video showed that. But the refs refused to overturn the call on the field, even though it wasn't called a TD at the time!!! WTF. That looked like pretty conclusive evidence to me, and I'm a reasonable person.

This is what I don't understand. With as much money the SEC is bringing in with bowl game money, tv contracts and all other revenue, why is there still a problem? The SEC should hire a company that could properly train, review calls made by officials, and continually rate each officials performance. The SEC then could hire officials from this company to officiate all SEC games. Since there is so much money involved in college football you would think that something would have already been done about this.
