I agree with you on that. What no one is looking at is even though the penalty yards are even looking they really aren't due to the fact of where the penalty yards were recieved. Tennessee picked up almost all thier penalties in the red zone and a critical 4th down bullshit call. They threw a couple of bs calls on alabama in non critical situations to make it look better on paper. I am %100 sure the league officials want to make sure bama remains unbeaten as much as they can for revenue gain. Bama would have won anyway, but it would have been closer without the refs and JG. Three plays cost us 21 points. Would have been a much closer game.gator-n-buck":3o0m7itf said:I'm not sure across the board that the refs are doing a worst job. I just think there are more cameras and angles to catch everything on the field these days. This stuff happens pretty quick to the human eye. When they run all the angles in slow it down it's easy to see but the refs don't have that advantage. Football has always been a game of inches and the game is moving faster than ever.
I'm not for slowing down the game and reviewing every call because it all balances out in the end.
UT - 13-93 yards in penalty yards.
Bama - 8-93 yards in penalty yards.

OHSmitty":2xn47p23 said:I think I'm more objective than anyone else on this thread, because I can't stand either Alabama or Tennessee. Yeah, Tennessee probably did get screwed by some bad calls by the referees. But football really is only about blocking and tackling. In any game, there are usually only 5-10 plays that determine the outcome. Alabama is a top 4 team, and like any of the other top 4 teams (really top 8 teams, which shouldn't include Clemson this year) for three fundamental reasons: (1) Alabama averages less than 10 missed tackles per game, (2) Alabama makes 5 or more, give or take, explosive plays each game, and (3) Alabama gives up fewer, give or take, explosive plays than their opponent each game (but this is the area that is Alabama's achilles heel this year). If one looks at the Wisconsin/Illinois game, the Georgia/South Carolina game, any game, you will see the outcomes came down to those three categories. And those all come back to blocking and tackling. Take the goal line play. Had the TN QB run the play as it was called, that was an easy TD for Tennessee. Instead, he had a brain malfunction or something, fumbled, and the fumble was returned 100 yards for an Alabama TD. Those were two plays in that game that resulted in a 14 point turnaround. Take the other 3 to 8 big plays in that game, and none had anything to do with the refs. But they all had something to do with a missed tackle, O line executing, or D line executing all resulting in a chunk play. Alabama simply had fewer missed tackles and more positive chunk plays than did Tennessee, and the same can be said for Illinois and South Carolina.
