Yeah that chop block call was a really bad break.  At a critical time.  From the angle that ref had- I am sure he truly thought it was a chop.

It happens so often in tight games.  Refs are human.  They make mistakes but I don’t think it is intentional. 
ya but too much coin in the cameras,equipment and components not to turn those calls over  - IMHO of course

I'm never clear on what can be reviewed and what cannot.  UGA benefitted greatly from a "12 men on defense" call that wasn't called until it was reviewed.

Holding, and PI, and chop blocks, etc. can't be reviewed, I reckon.

That's what needs to be tossed from the books the archaic decrees of yore.There are simple solutions that have been discussed ad nauseam to repeal this rot

The other odd call last night at UGA-Tenn was a defensive holding call on what turned into a running play.  I had to think about that one.  Beck went back to pass and was pressured and eluded the defenders and galloped ten yards into the end zone, and up pops the yellow flag indicator, which usually would be offensive holding on such a play.

But it was defensive.

ESPN and the SEC had a clear agenda in Athens against the Tennessee Vols and there's plenty of proof

sometimes a pass isn't thrown because the WR is not open due to defensive holding early in the route

10 wins. I miss that stuff.
The defense was nails, and the offense was competent at a few things.

Plus that sweet Big Ten West schedule

Sweet, as long as you don't draw OSU, Michigan and Michigan State the same year. :111:

Evidently we're collectively not dialed in like we think we are. Newsflash 4-6 Kansas on the road beat undefeated No.6 BYU and no one noticed - after the gimme vs  Utah last week doesn't come as a shocker

Wisconsin fires its OC.

Florida gets 4* QB recruit who ditched FSU, so that's cool.

Wisconsin only has 1 loss to a Big Ten West team, a road loss at Iowa, which is an extremely acceptable loss.  I don't think all fans appreciated a path where they just had to be better than Iowa to get to a CCG for a decade.

I very much do.

Wisconsin is also not very good, but that another matter.

I was distracted by KU's worst helmets ever.  Janky-ass old-timey Jayhawk, black helmet, white facemask.
