90% of Americans believe at least one conspiracy theory
I’m no Bama fan (not even close), but I don’t know this argument- splain plz
If you watched the game, you saw Bama "convert" a 4th down on a pass where the football dragged the ground. It was an obvious trap, but the refs on the field called it a catch and the review people didn't even bother to look at it. This pass put them in the red zone and they scored a TD on the very next play, then Georgia got the ball with not enough time left on the clock to do anything. BUT the ball didn't even belong to Bama for that score. If the refs or the review officials had done their job, Georgia would have had the ball back near mid-field. This was a huge swing in the game, putting Bama up by 10 points at the half.
In the second half, there were at least three plays where Georgia's WR was mugged by the DB, very obvious PI, but no flag was thrown. One of those would have put Georgia right about the 5 IIRC. On the other side of the ball, Bama's offensive line was allowed to hold Georgia's pass rushers whenever they felt like it.
Take away the erroneous first half TD and Georgia has the winning score. Call the PIs, and Georgia probably scores at least two more touchdowns, which likely would have had Georgia winning going away. People will argue that "you can't really know what all would have happened" had those calls been reversed. While that's true, one certainly can know Bama would not have scored that TD, and Georgia certainly would have scored at least one field goal out of those two PIs that would have put them near the end zone. Considering the final score had Bama up by three, it's easy math to see they'd have lost the game without inept/crooked officiating.
This was simply theft by the officials to ensure Bama won the game. End of story. Bama did not earn a berth in the playoff, it was handed to them by the NCAA officials calling that game.
