Is there any platform worse than the ESPN FPI? Taking L’s on the regular

Wasn't Steve Shaw the officiating go-to on the broadcast last night? When they asked him about the call reversal, he said, "It's about time someone had the guts to do it". WTF, man? Maybe he does hate us.

#6 made up for a lot of mistakes last night by making some huge plays. I know some will disagree, but imo what he did has atoned for his previous failures. We just went on the road and put a whooping on the #1 team in the country, and my dude played out of his mind. Well done, young man. It’s now 0-0. Let’s move forward and continue to get better. GoDawgs ‼️🏆🏆

Who the hell knows ... that's the answer. No one has any idea. With divisions, we had an idea of who was likely going to be in the SECCG. Right now, not a chance. Too many things can happen. There are 9 teams that have a shot:

Team - L - Remaining schedule:
LSU - 0 - @ATM, Bama, @UF, Vandy, OU
ATM - 0 - LSU, @USCjr, @Auburn, TEX
UGA - 1 - UF, @OleMiss, UTjr
Texas - 1 - @Vandy, UF, @Arky, UK, @ATM
UTjr - 1 - Ky, MSU, @UGA, @Vandy
Mizzou - 1 - @Bama, OU, @USCjr, @MSU, Arky
Vanderbilt - 1 - TEX, @Auburn, USCjr, @LSU, UTjr
Bama - 2 - Mizzou, @LSU, @OU, Auburn
Ole Miss - 2 - OU, @Arky, UGA, @UF, MSU

It's really hard to figure out who will get to the SEC CCG, but with two losses, Bama is basically out. UTjr would have to lose 2 in order for Bama to get in over them.

UGA has the fewest SEC games left - 3. And, candidly, our schedule looks way better now than it did pre-season. We should beat UF, and UTjr has gone 3 straight games without scoring in the first half. Their OL is trash. They don't have depth and are injured. Their QB is erratic. We have them at home. That leaves Ole Miss, and they have two SEC losses already, and play OU and Arky before they get us. Our SEC future will be decided in Oxford, IMO.

LSU, TEX, Mizzou, and Vandy have 5 SEC games left.

ATM, LSU, UTjr, Bama, and Ole Miss have 4.

UGA has 3.

Teams with tougher schedules than UGA:
LSU
ATM
Mizzou (maybe)
Vandy (they are toast)

Win out and we will be in the SECCG, I am sure. LSU and ATM play each other, so they can't both be at 0 losses. LSU also has Bama, and ATM gets Texas. We have the H2H on Texas, and we are up a win on Bama.

I think TEX is in for an eye-opener when they play teams like UK, Arky, and even UF - they will get beat up against them. Then they have to contend with Vandy, the only SEC team that has a winning record against them.

USCjr may get to play the spoiler this year. They played Bama really close, should have beaten LSU, and they beat the dog crap out of OU. They get to play:
ATM, Vandy, and Mizzou.

Also been one of the best against the run too.

Almost one third of TX first downs came on a penalty.

Who never left it, like me?

Probably my only complaint about O or D gameplan...

It seemed like we finally got our running game going, and went empty for 7 straight plays. At the very least, we need the PA threat. Very frustrating.

Statement regarding officiating decision in Georgia-Texas football game​

October 20, 2024

Statement from the SEC Office:
With 3:12 to play in the third quarter of the Georgia at Texas game, Texas intercepted a pass at the Texas 46-yard line and returned it to the Texas 9 yard line. Texas was flagged for committing defensive pass interference on the play which resulted in Georgia maintaining the ball with a first down.
The game officials gathered to discuss the play, which is permitted to ensure the proper penalty is enforced, at which time the calling official reported that he erred, and a foul should not have been called for defensive pass interference. Consequently, Texas was awarded the ball at the Texas 9 yard line.
While the original evaluation and assessment of the penalty was not properly executed, it is unacceptable to have debris thrown on the field at any time.
The disruption of the game due to debris being thrown onto the field will be reviewed by the Conference office related to SEC sportsmanship policies and procedures.

They conveniently ignore the penalty had already been assessed (spotted) snd was reviewed (unreviewable call) based on the UT board loop during the the trash throwing.

You never get any better when you refuse to admit what you’ve done wrong the whole problem with the SEC officiating.

That Sankey felt the need to come out last week and say the officials blew the call on Kirby and he should have been penalized 15 yards.

I find of very interesting what when and how often he personally chooses to criticize his officials or a team.

Might be interesting to see how many other penalties he’s personally spoken to the press about over the last few years.

And let’s see if bottle throwing gets the same attention from him personally as a sideline shove. Sounds like he’s already defending reversing an already accepted and assessed penalty via his surrogates.

Kirby however should have been flagged.

Sanken is a money grubbing vat of corrupted human flesh that has done more to destroy the conference than anyone since the guy who originally let tech in.

Hey - but that’s just me

I bet...as good as our kickers are that we have shown in practice at some 90 percent clip we can top the ball and create chaos and usually at worst it goes past first guy always on a high bounce so at best they get it at the 35.

But today..it got cut off.

I just can't believe that was a regular random squib or the kicker missed the ball that badly...they are too good and can do lots of crazy kicks nobody would usually see

You know what would be good this morning..... Texas tears. Let's have 'em boys.

I can’t tell you how many Texas fans that I know that “warned” me that this Texas team is like no other team we’ve seen. I simply reminded them that this UGA team is accustomed to games of this magnitude. It’s fun to be right. One thing that I haven’t heard a lot about….our special teams were elite. Punting and kicking were fantastic and very much a game changer. And the flea flicker call at the end of the 3rd quarter, Bobo is a damn good OC. Top 20 win in program history. Go dawgs!!

Offense:

Points per game - 36th
Yards per game - 44th
Passing yards per game - 15th
Rushing yards per game - 93rd
Yards per rush - 71st
Yards per play - 37th
First downs - 65th

Defense:

Points per game - 15th
Yards per game - 19th
Passing yards per game - 37th
Rushing yards per game - 24th
Yards per rush - 22nd
Yards per play - 26th
First downs - 21st

Through the Texas game

And WRs. Beck is inaccurate and whenever he is accurate we’re dropping everything in sight. Our passing game is frankly hard to watch.

Saw an absolute clinic on Texas’s dime.

For SEC Officials to attempt to do or actually do something to influence a game one way or the other? I officiated GHSA football for 25 years, and I can honestly say I never intentionally did anything to influence the outcome of a game, and I have always given other officials the benefit of the doubt. You can be bad but never biased is what I believed until last night.

The difference is simply money. Not for the officials but for the SEC and ESPN. Many have believed for years that Alabama got help. Why? No huge local television market but a national following. Texas has multiple huge television markets and a national following. They are going to get more help than Alabama ever did. Followings equals ratings and ratings equals money.

The way that penalty was waived
off last night was egregious. In the GHSA, the offended team would have rightfully filed a report last night. If a flag is going to be waived off, it must be done immediately after the call was mutually determined to be wrong, and the bottles on the field should have been a delay of game on Texas. PI is not reviewable, but once they saw the big screen replay is when they seized the opportunity. The conference and the network wanted TX undefeated, and the officials tried to help.

Prior to last night I would have laughed at this post, now I’m posting it. The SEC will do nothing of any consequence, because they are partially behind it and fully compromised. The crew should be suspended, but it will never happen.
