Will FSU leapfrog Bama then? Cause they crushed Bama's opponent today worse than Bama did.

Would it matter? Oklahoma vs. Michigan State. I guess MSU was on the right side of 6 games decided by 1 possession, so they are asking for a loss, but Oklahoma's wins are against the Big12.
 
Does anyone know if Tech gets a bowl payout even though we didn't go? Doesn't the league split all bowl revenue?
 
I'm glad the ööööing tarholes got screwed on that offsides call. It made up for the INT-That-Wasn't earlier in the 2nd half. Sorry but just because some DL "made a great play on the ball" doesn't mean that the öööö thing didn't bounce off the ground.

öööö UNC. Kharma's a bitch and so is their stupid goat mascot.
 
UNC finally knows what it is like to be on the receiving end of a fixed call. Good riddance.

Once Chizik leaves at the end of next season they will be stuck eating a 7 year contract with Fedora. Their flash in the pan is over.

Hate UNCheat but they got screwed. The Refs have been bad the whole year. Hopefully they will do something in the off season to correct this.

The ACC has had several off seasons to fix their crappy officiating. While, like you, I am hopeful something will be done about it, we all know that, come next year, it'll all be the same.

But I am glad UNC was screwed - Couldn't have happened to a better bunch of twits.

Not only did they not fix it, they hired Penn Fricking Wagers from the SEC.
 
Other conferences have a bad year of officiating here and there. However, the ACC has had kept the bar low for at least a decade at this point.

Wasn't there a study on conference refs last offseason that showed the ACC refs have the most biases and are there in far more arbitrary ways than other conferences?

ACC and Big 12. ACC is biased to home teams and North Carolina teams.
 
Using game data for teams in the six BCS automatically qualifying conferences (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big XII, PAC, SEC) from 2005-2012, we find clear evidence of officiating bias, most notably in the ACC and former Big East and, to a lesser degree, in the Big Ten and Big XII. Interestingly, evidence of bias varies between conferences. For instance, we found evidence that ACC officiating favors underdog teams, home teams, high prestige football programs, and long-time founding members of the conference. We found no evidence of this type or level of officiating bias in other conferences. We believe these findings help substantiate claims of bias from around the nation and provide a compelling case for considering centralized governance of officiating in college football to alleviate concerns surrounding gambling and game integrity

Basically, the paper makes a model of penalty yards taking into account a lot of different variables. Then whether a game is played in-conference or OOC gives the effect of officiating specifically.

The most consistent effect, across all conferences, is more penalties yards for a favorite and less penalty yards for a home team. The latter is well-known: booing the ref works. The former is interesting, though. Revenue generation for the conference would say officiating should favor the favorites, not the underdogs. I think refs favor the underdogs because the underdogs are more likely to be out of the game, and the refs are less likely to call a borderline holding or PI.

The ACC football officials had the most penalty yards for both biases. Then you have the bias for "founding members," i.e. NC schools. I think the ACC officials are just worse than other conferences, and that incompetence heightens the implicit pressure from both fans booing and the Carolina political power. As opposed to the SEC and Big 10, the Carolina schools have cared about basketball and so there's less pressure on incompetence in football.
 
No.

Glad Clemson won. öööö UNCheat !

Can't wait to here their fans cry about the game.
:bigcry:

Did Fedora talk about the call in the after game presser?

Just said it was obviously a blown call and that one bad call doesn't lose a game, but he thought they had a chance at tying it up with the ball at midfield and three timeouts.
