It is crooked and corrupt. Who says so? The SEC league office.
I snapped off the hard-hitting and tight Arkansas-Florida tilt on Saturday as it was obvious SEC officials were favoring the #1 ranked — and potential league cash-cow — Gators at home. The final straw was a completely phantom late hit call on a Razorback which set up Florida’s tying touchdown.
The SEC now says that the call was a mistake. Duh. But it can do that now that Florida escaped with a 23-20 win, aided by two more highly questionable pass interference calls. For the game Arkansas had 10 penalties for 92 yards. Florida had just three penalties for 16 yards.
It is fair to say the SEC has millions of dollars riding on both Alabama and Florida making it thru the regular season unbeaten, assuring that one team will emerge from the SEC title game in Atlanta with a spot in the national title game. If SEC refs have anything to do with it, I’m sure that will happen.
Update: The SEC has suspended the entire crew that worked the Fla.-Ark. game. Next, 40 lashes with a wet noodle.
