It’s hard to believe we’ve only seen five weeks of football.

The drama — and the losses by some of these so-called SEC powers — has come in bursts early in the 2015 season. We witnessed plenty of ejections and personal fouls Saturday, which were among the most controversial calls.

Check out some of the most debated and talked-about officiating decisions from Week 5.

PENALIZED FOR DESTROYING EVERYTHING

Alabama defensive lineman Jarran Reed bulldozed the Georgia long snapper early in the second quarter on a field goal attempt.

Football now has rules to protect players like snappers, who often don’t have time to fling a football between their legs and then get into ideal position to block someone much bigger who has built up a head of steam. By rule, it’s the right call to give Reed a personal foul here, and the officials did — extending the drive and giving Georgia a great opportunity at a touchdown (the Bulldogs settled for another field goal).

Still, the football purists won’t like this one, as Reed gets punished for what used to be considered commendable physical play.

THE EARLY WHISTLE GETS THE … HUH?

South Carolina defensive end Cedric Cooper tracked down Missouri quarterback Drew Lock near the goal line in the first quarter.

Lock backtracked into the painted area, then jumped as Cooper pulled him to the ground, mustering a pass that just did travel to the 2-yard line before skidding along the ground.

The pass should either be incomplete or intentional grounding — more likely the former, as there was a receiver in the direction that Lock was heaving the ball — but the officials somehow ruled him down at the 1-yard line. That seemingly was the instant that Cooper touched him.

IN-COM-YOUGOTTABEKIDDINGME

In a closer-than-expected ball game, with less than 5 minutes remaining and San Jose State trying to mount a comeback, Blake Countess draped himself around a Spartans receiver in the end zone.

What looked like good coverage to Auburn fans received a pass interference flag that helped San Jose State maintain a bit of hope.

It’s a 50-50 call, more or less. There’s nothing “wrong” with calling a penalty here, or letting it go. But the call didn’t go Auburn’s way, just like most things this season.

NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON

Florida’s Chris Thompson arrived an instant after the Gators punt and blasted Ole Miss’ punt returner.

Judging by the way the Gators coaches reacted on the sideline, the officials did a horrible deed to Thompson. But, watching the replay, it appears the Florida player committed kick-catch interference — guilty as charged.

A DIFFERENT STYLE OF EJECTION

Usually it’s the defensive players — linebackers and safeties, mostly — getting ejected after doling out a violent collision to a receiver or running back. Not this time.

Texas A&M receiver Ricky Seals-Jones, all of 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, laid into Mississippi State defensive back Brandon Bryant with a crack-back block while trying to free fellow receiver Josh Reynolds.

Seals-Jones bent Bryant’s legs at an awkward angle while the defensive back was defenseless, and could’ve caused a major injury. Instead, the only consequences were that the Aggies receiver had to miss the second half of the game and wasn’t on the field while his teammates celebrated a big win.

FRESHMAN ON FRESHMAN CRIME

Early in the second quarter, with South Carolina threatening to tie the game, Missouri true freshman defensive tackle Terry Beckner Jr. pressured fellow freshman quarterback Lorenzo Nunez into an incomplete pass.

A good beat and a half after Nunez released the ball, Beckner Jr. gave him a legitimate nudge, including some minor helmet-to-helmet contact. By the letter of the law, Beckner Jr. got ejected, though the hit wasn’t nearly as vicious as the one that Shane Ray put on Alabama quarterback Blake Sims in the SEC Championship Game.

No matter: Mizzou got the win and Beckner Jr. will play next week against Florida.
