[h1]Deja vu: SEC admits another officiating mistake[/h1][h4]By Paul Gattis -- The Huntsville Times[/h4][h5]October 19, 2009, 11:23PM[/h5]
AP
Arkansas coachBobby Petrino talks with an official in a game earlier this season. The SEC's ruling that the Razorbacks wrongly received a personal foul penalty in thefourth quarter against Florida didn't ease the pain of a 23-20 loss.For thesecond time in three weeks, the SEC has said one of its officiating crews made a mistake in the fourth quarter of a close game.
And in both cases, it was the same seven-man officiating crew, according to a comparison we did of each game's box scoresposted on the school athletic department sites. The box scores list each official working the game.
This week's victim was Arkansas, which lost 23-20 to Florida on Saturday after the Gators kicked the game-winning field goal with nine secondsleft.
According to The Morning News of Northwest Arkansas, theSEC said Razorback defensive tackle Malcolm Sheppard was wrongly flagged for a persona foul penalty in the fourth quarter.
The penalty gave the Gators a first-and-goal at the 10. Florida's Jeff Demps scored the game-tying touchdown on the next play with 7:27 left in thegame. Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said he talked with SEC supervisor of officials Rogers Redding.

"I called and talked to the director of the officials, but there's not a whole lot we can do about it," Petrino said.
Two weeks ago, the SEC said Georgia receiver A.J. Green should not havebeen flagged for excessive celebration after scoring the go-ahead touchdown with less than two minutes left against LSU.
That penalty forced Georgia to kick off from the 15-yard line and gave LSU advantageous field position, which the Tigers used to spark their game-winningdrive in the final seconds.
In each game, the referee was Marc Curles. He had the same crew working with him in both games. It is not known if the same official wrongly threw the flagin both games.
The SEC does not announce any punitive action it takes, if any, with officials who are found to have made such a mistake.

I really don't understand what the refs expected the guy to do. The O lineman was coming to take him down and he defended himself.

I didn't even know a personal foul was called before that Demps TD... SMFH. I wonder what are the odds that this same crew does Bama/Tenn this weekend.

There's no question in my mind that those two calls weren't just coincidences. Call me paranoid or w/e, but both of them were ridiculous and it was thesame exact crew screwing up at a crucial point in the game.

[h1]BCS intelligence[/h1]By Dan Wetzel
On Sept. 5, while Florida feasted on Charleston Southern and Texas opened with Louisiana-Monroe, the Oklahoma Sooners played a strong BYU team on a neutral field.
That's when Sam Bradford sprained his shoulder while being sacked, an injury that derailed OU's title hopes.
A week later, while Florida annihilated Troy and Texas blew out Wyoming, Southern California played at Ohio State.
That's when freshman Matt Barkley was himself sacked and hurt. He was forced to sit out the next game, which the Trojans lost. Now they're behind the national title 8-ball.
That's two tough games, two season-changing injuries and two more examples why as long as the Bowl Championship Series exists, there is no good reason any power team should risk playing a rugged non-conference schedule.
Check out the BCS standings. Florida and Texas are ranked No. 1 and 3 respectively, despite playing weak non-conference teams. Both know if they win out, they'll play for the title anyway.
More From Dan Wetzel
- Moment of truth for Weis, Clausen Oct 15, 2009
This isn't scheduling cowardice, it's, in fact, what passes for BCS intelligence.
If you're a big-name program, it's foolish to prove yourself outside of the mandated league games. A monster showdown might be fun to play in, but it isn't proportionately rewarded by either the voters or the computers. All it does is open you up to a loss, an injury or an emotional letdown.
You're best served staying home and playing patsies.
This column isn't about who should or shouldn't be No. 1 or whether this team could win the games on that team's schedule. There's plenty of places and time for those debates.
It's about how despite the BCS' claim that it, unlike a playoff, protects the "sanctity of the regular season," it has actually cut down on the exciting games the sport was built on.
And as coaches increasingly figure out how to rig this silly system, the trend toward the dull has only just begun.
"Is the goal to find the team with the best record or the best team?" USC's Pete Carroll asked reporters after the first BCS standings found his 5-1 Trojans in seventh place, hurt by computers that left the Trojans in the teens.
Carroll should know the answer by now. Sometimes they are one in the same. The one certainty in this uncertain system is that the most likely road to the title game for a big-name team is an undefeated record. Auburn, in 2004, is the lone exception.
"We've told our kids that we need to win them all," said Texas coach Mack Brown of the blueprint for winding up in the BCS title game.
What is the easiest way to "win them all?" Play the weakest competition imaginable; and do it on your campus.
The Longhorns' non-conference schedule features UL-Monroe, Wyoming, UTEP and Central Florida. It's an embarrassing slate for a team of its stature, but it's also one reason UT walked into the Oklahoma game Saturday in excellent health, high confidence and with backups having gained valuable experience.
All of that was enough to leave with a 16-13 victory over the battered Sooners.
Both Brown and Florida coach Urban Meyer are staunchly anti-BCS, but as long as they are stuck with this system, they're going to try to figure out how to beat it.
While Bradford and Barkley were getting injured against physical non-conference opponents, quarterbacks for Florida and Texas, Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy, were watching long stretches of blowouts from the safety of the sideline.
Last offseason Brown brought in a bunch of BCS gurus to Austin to break down how the system works. He didn't lack for familiar examples. In his own Big 12 he's watched both Kansas (2007) and Texas Tech (200rise to No. 2 in late-season BCS standings, despite playing laughable non-conference schedules, essentially turning the season into two or three serious games.
If you can "win them all" the BCS doesn't care about the "all."
Brown, and just about everyone else, is scheduling with this in mind. The Horns' future opponents are only modestly more challenging than this season. UT will play three weaker teams and add a single major conference opponent per season, none of them true heavyweights - UCLA, Mississippi and Cal.
Meyer, meanwhile, knows that as long as his Gators win the Southeastern Conference, even with one loss, he's probably in the BCS title game. The non-conference is meaningless to the Gators' title hopes … unless they lose. So why risk it?
UF hasn't played a non-conference game outside the state of Florida since the BCS was created and had only two outside Gainesville in the past five seasons. The only major non-conference team on the long-term schedule is fading Florida State. The Gators will play South Florida in 2010 and 2015, but other than that, it's straight sisters of the poor.
"I don't plan on changing the way we schedule," Meyer said last summer.
Why would he? Why would anyone? This isn't just what the BCS rewards, it's what it demands.
In the 1980s, pre-BCS, there were annually between 15-20 non-conference games featuring two preseason ranked teams. This year there were just four.
There was a time when scheduling a Football Championship Subdivision team (formerly I-AA) was unheard of; now teams regularly play two of them.
All this despite the expanding of the season that offered more opportunity for real games.
Carroll, for one, tries to schedule only major conference opponents and doesn't want to hear that retreating is the smartest policy. He believes the thrill is still in the challenge. USC is one of just four schools to have never played a FCS team.
He joins Stoops as part of a small group of coaches who still seeks out two or three powerful non-league opponents each season, fallout be damned.
OU is set up with dates with Ohio State, LSU, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, TCU and Tennessee over the next eight years. Carroll, whose team took two long trips to the Midwest this season, has future series with Notre Dame, Virginia, Boston College, Texas A&M, Syracuse and Hawaii and is looking for more.
It means every year those two national challengers are voluntarily walking a gauntlet, making chasing a championship exponentially more difficult.
They'd be best served joining Texas, Florida and the rest of the crowd that are playing by the rules the BCS has created - line up the weaklings as their fans' eyes glaze over in boredom (while still charging full price for tickets, of course).
Apparently Pete Carroll and Bob Stoops still believe in the sanctity of the regular season.
It's the BCS that doesn't.
