I'll preface by saying LSU primarily needs to look at LSU for not winning this game. The dropped passes, lack of QB development, and high school JV designed offensive scheme just to name a few of the problems. However, I'm also convinced there is consistent officiating bias for Alabama and I think Ritter and his crew are at the center of it.

It just seems that Ritter is the official officiating crew of the University of Alabama. I could swear (but have no proof) that they are the officiating crew for more than half of the games Alabama plays.

And it's not just total penalties, it's ball spots, no-calls, and of course timing of penalty calls. More so, if Ritter's crew is calling as many Alabama games and particularly every key game, as I think they are, it gives them a tremendous edge just in the fact that they're more familiar with the officiating crew than the other team.

Against LSU, I know for a fact, they were the crew for the 2007, 2009, 2011(reg season game), and of course this year. I'm pretty sure they were the officiating crew for the 2008 game. I do know factually that they were not the officiating crew for the 2010 game. For the other years, I'm not sure.

Going forward, I'm going to do my best to keep a database of all officiating crews for each SEC game from here on out and hope to have poster's help in spotting the crews so I can update my database. If Ritter's crew or any other crew are inordinately calling a majority of a specific team's games, it needs to be addressed and corrected.

Of course, I've already tried to find a website that list the officiating crews for games played but have not been able to do so. If someone knows of one, please provide a link. Also, if someone has the intelligence to hack into the SEC's computer database and get this data, well, I'm not a fan of hacking, but that would be a wonderful use of your hacking abilities.

You should write a letter to the SEC, then post it here.
