    The morning show on Sirius with Rick Neuheisel was reviewing a PI call in another ACC game (was it Maryland?) which impacted the outcome of the game. I'm not sure which game it was, but the call was controversial and once again involved ACC refs.

    I agree wholeheartedly. Always thought there should just be one NCAA refs group.

    I sure hope we never have another ACC-trained official ever officiate a Gator game again. They are truly awful.

    Maryland is in the Big 10, so probably not.

    Officiating has been generally awful this year.

    They're not awful they are actually very good at what they're "trained" to do.

    I don't trust the NCAA to do anything right in college football. I would hope the conferences (power 4) would get together and figure out a more honest and fair ways to get these refs to be more accurate with their game calls.

    Gotta eliminate the conflict of interest factor first, before they can begin to work on honesty and integrity

    Yes they were talking about Jim Mora Jr's quote after his UConn team got hosed by ACC refs when playing against Wake Forest.

    I thought we get our SEC crew in Tally now.

    Well, that’s how it was originally — visiting team gets to have their own crooked refs.
    I’m not up on the current state of affairs, but my recollection is after The Swindle we demanded that no ACC refs would ever officiate in The Swamp again — that led to home refs for our series going forward. I don’t know if that’s still our policy or not

    If we just stop getting all of these refs from the state of Alabama, the SEC would be better served...

    I agree. Btw more people with a voice other than Neuheisel are saying it as well:
