Egregious ref calls

Post by Everythingsducky »

Have seen some ridiculous call/non-call’s that even the announcers were baffled. Specifically tonight’s Miami/Cal game. There was a clear crown of helmet to helmet contact by Miami, where the QB’s helmet definitely showed impact. It is seeming to me, that even with replay, the powers that be, are still in charge of overtaking correct calls, based on how the call affects said conference, and it’s playoff position. It is complete BS. Might as well keep the calls on the field as is. Corruption has no limits.

Clear crown of the helmet and clearly launched. One of the most black and white cases of targeting you'll see and they still screwed it up.

I really want refs and replay officials to have to explain themselves to the media, so tired of corrupt refs getting a free pass.

That hit was the reason the rule was made. If you look it up in the rule book, that picture would probably be the example

Pretty sure the ACC is calling into some of these Miami games and telling the refs not to screw things up for the conference.

Another thing I agree with you about.

The fact that each conference has in-house officiating with no oversight or a way of holding anyone accountable leads any reasonable person to believe these things are happening.

If you wanted a system to be corrupt, this is how you would set it up. With the amount of money at stake, and the precarious position the ACC is in, it would almost be irresponsible of them to not be conspiring to keep Miami undefeated.

Yeah they need both Miami and Clemson to make it in so protecting them up to the ACC CG is the best way to do it.
