Analysis on Alabama and Tom Ritter

The whole officiating ordeal we seem to go through with Alabama and Tom Ritter (2007, 2009, and 2014) has been bugging the hell out of me, so much so, that I did some research thinking that it would reveal an Alabama - Tom Ritter connection. But that's not necessarily what I found. Here's a summation of the Alabama officiating results from 2007 to present. Ritter seems to be the selected referee for a larger percentage of games against ranked opponents which might suggest his crew is being cherry picked for the games where Alabama could really use some help. But the records also show the best chance of beating Alabama is with Ritter officiatng.

Interpret the data as you wish. If you have any questions, I've got a lot more data as this is only a summation of the Alabama games.
