Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

we had the discussion regarding the conference protecting the top playoff teams

and as we know, Ohio st. is usually protected by the B1G

OSU finished last in the entire country in penalties called on their opponents

Wow!! Now that’s very interesting as well!!!Also backs that osu doesn’t get favoritism. Good stat Sam

May be a B1G thing, the bottom five are all Big Ten. PSU was 133 and Michigan 132. 

WAY more offensive PI should be called, that's for sure.  WRs get to assault DBs on the regular.

this all day, but it won’t be because: touchdowns are sexy and gotta score points to keep the viewership numbers up.

Their help for Northwestern didn't yield results.
Back to the drawing board.

Interesting stat. No opposing OL holding has been called against A&M’s DL since September. In other words, none of our opponents have been called for holding in two months. Crazy. What are the odds of that?  And before you ask there’s lots of videos floating around of us being held often in every game. I do not know how many times our OL has been called for holding in that same time span. 

Well, it’s still statistically improbable. 

I feel that more PIs should be called

many times the defender is grabbing an arm or stretching jersey and nothing is called

We wouldn't have gotten by with what goes on today playing receiver or DB, when we were kids playing football in the 1970s. 
There are so many times receivers "create distance" by pushing off, or in the case of Jeremiah Smith, by yanking the opponent down by the facemask. And there is a lot of hand-checking going on that would not have been allowed 50-years ago. Incidental contact was allowed if the player is going for the ball when the incidental contact occurs, which is why the first video, in the article I originally posted, I thought that call was probably correct. The Michigan player wasn't playing the ball; he was playing the man. I think that one was a close call, because the receiver barreled into the DB who had the better position, arguably making it impossible for the DB to play the ball. It looked like the DB was facing the receiver, and catching the receiver with his arms, rather than going for the ball which is why I lean toward supporting the defensive pass interference call, but I would have been satisfied with a "no call" too.
It seems that receivers are trained (especially well at Ohio State) to create distance by pushing off and refs rarely call it. I am sick of it. There is a rule book. Enforce the rules.
