I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but...

It seems the officials this year, and to some degree, last couple of years, have interjected themselves into the games and are deciding the outcomes of the games. Last night I watched the officials give the shaft to VT by having to 2 TD's nullified, taken off the board that kept VT from winning. One on a bogus holding call, the second on overturning a TD catch. The officials in the Wash, Rutgers game made many calls favoring Rutgers and stopping Washington drives. I have lost count on how TD's have been called back this year on penalties everytime a team scores on a long play. If the favored team is behind the 8 Ball, the officials bail them out on a regular basis.

One last rant: When will college football and the NFL adopt the XFL's process for reviewing plays? The XFL had two LARGE screens, and officials reviewing every play live in a booth. If there was a problem, they would stop play, have the decision in about 15 seconds, and play would resume. It was interesting listening to the reviewers talk through the process and explain it to the field judge. The officials on the field DO NOT need to be behind the microscopic screen watching reviews (probably porn clips) taking 5-10 minutes to make an effin decision. The game flowed smoother and faster, if they needed more time to view a play they would stop play until a decision was made, but that happened rarely. The NCAA and NFL are prehistoric in making changes to improve the quality of play. Personally, I think instant replay needs to be removed unless a flag is thrown and then you have 45 seconds to decide the outcome. If it takes longer than that, the play stands.

I'm done for now, thanks.

there sure seem to be some ridiculous calls and there's no review for those questionable calls. We've fallen victim to phantom holding calls several times. It's not an easy job but that woman last weekend should have never have been on the field. She was awful. There's very view truly competent people who want to pursue the jobs. Even the best make mistakes though.

There needs to be some accountability for the refs. They need to be reviewed and graded after each game and if their grade is below a certain amount they get demoted. There’s no repercussions for poor calls

Legalized sports betting in the last few years has changed football for the worse.

I’ve said this numerous times the officials need to meet with the media after the game just like coaches and players instead of just leaving heck the league officials are pretty mum on talking. Stop hiding and face the music the fans and players deserve better

It's not the refs who need to do this. It's the ones telling them what to do.

I texted my Husky younger brother last night. “Welcome to the Big Ten”” after he had texted these officials are terrible.

The last call that went against Va Tech involved the official back in NYC too. They did not want To give a loss to a No 7 Miami

I could not agree more. I have never bet on any sport and never will. I have too much respect for my money.

I’m convinced the female official was from illinois. She was gawd awful…

How about the no call horse collar tackle or the no call pass interference on consecutive plays on VTs last possession. BS.

And that itself is a judgement call. They called too much or not enough.
