Proof That College Football Refs Are Riddled With Bias

[bama57]

As Oregon and Ohio State prepare to battle for the NCAA football championship, a new study offers what may be the first empirical evidence that something other than rule infractions influences the referees employed by the biggest athletic conferences. Based on a complex analysis of penalty yards assessed over the course of eight seasons, the study by professors at Miami University of Ohio and Florida State University suggests, for instance, that ACC and Big 12 refs tend to penalize home teams less during games between conference rivals. Favored Big Ten teams are penalized fewer yards when playing nonconference teams, the study says, while Big 12 officials appear to punish teams that play faster—a potential concern for the go-go Ducks on Monday night.

Lordy you know Refs are biased because they do it in plain view on TV and then won't be man enough to undo a wrong. If you do not want to know how bad the Refs are then do away with the Jumbo-trons. RTR!

The SEC, which won seven of the eight NCAA championships during the period under review, was found to have officials essentially devoid of bias.

Shocking news to most SEC fans.   

I guess the Big12 officials were picked for the championship game because no Big12 team is in the playoffs, hence no "dog in the hunt."

Basketball ref's are even worse IMO. Home teams get all the calls unless you are play Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, etc. It is sickening at times.
