re: Officials for Bama game....

You thinking that there’s some grand conspiracy in “the SEC” whoever that is, (and they are colluding with the officials to throw a game), is comedy gold.

It's also quite naive to completely discount the fact that the SEC is a business and as such makes business decisions. While there may not be any overt collusion on the field, there is little doubt the league wants the Bama-UGA matchup. Subtle things such as the tendencies and quality of officials can make a big difference in a game.

With that said, in addition to economics there is no doubt that a bias exists in the SEC office in Birmingham in favor of Alabama.
