So a Michigan team missing most of its starting defense, it’s top offensive weapon, and doesn’t have a QB that can throw a forward pass.

Just beat a Bama team ESPN cried for 2 weeks straight that they should’ve made the playoffs.

Illinois just got screwed big time. All the way down to the 1 and a “fumble” at the goal.  Everyone watching replay agrees it’s either a TD or he is down at the 1….and the refs still give SC the ball/touchback. 

refs in save the SEC mode early

Hope Duke beats Ole Miss to complete the CFP crybaby sweep.

This Illinois/SC game has some horrific refs.   At least replay finally allowed Illinois a TD.

Announcers defending bad refereeing now as….nuances differ from conference to conference lol.  So of course BIG12 refs will somehow call a game different than SEC or BIG10.  Wut?

Lol, are you allowed to substitute forever?? What the heck is this refereeing?

I was rooting for Illinois.  Now I’m just rooting for Shane Beamer to have a meltdown on the refs and for the horrible reffing to continue.  It’s been both ways.  But Illinois technically ahead in terms of  getting the bad end of the stick presently.  

And breaking up crews for the big games has never made  logical sense on any level of football.   Crews should get games.  Not random dudes that don’t work together

I'm a south carolina fan and I agree that the refeering has been awful, i guess if anything it's been awful both ways.

Hopefully they settle down and disappear.  Felt like high school refs found themselves in the Super Bowl lol

The Louisville vs. Washington game is the only watchable game so far. Alabama vs. Michigan was close to being watchable.

No real issue with a coach trying to getting under an overall on the day flustered Beamers skin….but using a window because YOU got injured player on the field to do it….might be one of the lamest moves I’ve seen by a HC in some time.  So, damn.  Now I gotta root for SC the rest of the way here

SC game officiating is completely one sided 

 

its ridiculous. Just like the LSU game.

It’s been pretty bad overall.  I still think is fairly even of just being bad.   Embarrassing they sell these games as featuring the best refs.   You shouldn’t break up and create new crews of guys that don’t work together.  Entirely new dynamics within the crew.

Nick Emmanwori apparently pulled a Cam Ward and quit at halftime as well.
