TCU doesn't get called for a single penalty yesterday, BYU seemed to get at least a yard their way on every spot until they were up by 30 against us. Bama and Florida each seem to have the officials protecting their unblemished records. What do you all think? Is there a conspiracy by the Officials to help top teams?

Larger and louder fan bases will always have a slight advantage. Notre Dame is one of those teams that ALWAYS get the calls going their way. Ohio State is another one... LSU, Florida, Alabama... Cincy likely wouldn't be undefeated if it wasn't for that really weird call where a fumble somehow turned into a touchdown even though the ball clearly didn't get into the endzone.

I don't think there is a conspiracy, though. There's no way that would happen without somebody talking (they couldn't even shut up about the waterboarding in Gitmo - so you expect hundreds of civilians to be quiet?). If anybody's ever reffed any sports, you know how difficult it is to get every call right, and you know you'll be hated by fans on both sides even if do you get every single one right. I've never reffed Football, but I've done it for both soccer and hockey, and it sucks balls :)
 
No to the conspiracy idea. TV replay and coverage would not allow that since too many would have to know about it to keep it secret. COnspiracy's don't work when large groups of people have to be involved

When you have a team so much more experienced and physically faster than opponents there was no need for TCU, Florida, Alabama, etc to hold or be behind a block and clip.

Superior teams will be called for a lot less penalties.
 
Didn't see the broadcast since I was at the game, so I didn't get the advantage of all the replays. In my opinion, though, the refs were definitely looking the other way for TCU and giving them the benefit of the doubt on the close calls. They would have won either way, but I felt that the frog bias was pretty apparent.
 
If there is a conspiracy, it just might work in our favor this Friday. The Hair just might want to make sure the conference fills all of its bowl games.
 
Sure seems like the officials were doing everything they could to help LSU in the OleMiss game. The officiating the SEC this year has been crazy.

Cincy's win the week before was even worse. Cincinnati should be a 1 loss team.
