This is getting ridiculous. There is time for a change and the time is now.:cuss: I don't know where the responsibility lands, but it is beginning to stink of corruption. It would be ashame for the greatest CF conference in the land to loose credibility because of greed. It was the downfall of boxing and it looks like SEC football or maybe CF altogether may be going down the same road.:angry:
from pete fiutak's weekly column: there's a good blurb about florida too. Scout.com: Cavalcade of Whimsy - Is Florida Having Fun?
I'm ashamed to say that the officiating has become a laughing stock in US college football. Others scoff at claims that the SEC is the toughest conference in BCS football. This kind of repeated biased officiating is beginning to validate their doubts. One or two games a season would be understandable. But it's happened every weekend that two top 5 SEC teams get together. Maybe it's time the SEC looks at the top tiers for places to fix the problem.
And the thing is . . . Bama and Florida don't need any help. They are pretty good teams already. Yet every controversial call this season has gone in the favor of the undefeated team. There is something broken in SEC officiating.
The problem is that it is so bad and they have already made so many mistakes that they simply can't continue to admit to mistakes. It is what it is and I assure you, mike Slive, and this Otis Redding fella are embarassed to have to take this stance but they have determined it is in the best interest of the conference. And they're probably right. It just sucks for us.
exactly. should one of them go on to win the nc, this will give any opponent the right to question whether they should have even been there. to question if they earned it. slive is hurting the conference more than helping it by letting questions stand about officiating. i disagree. if they simply came out and said they will re-evaluate how refs are graded, or something, anything, then it might help make the conspiracy talk go away. their actions just feed it.
