Fans hammer SEC officials for questionable non-calls in Georgia-Texas A&M game
By SDS Staff
Published:
Georgia remains alive in the College Football Playoff hunt with a 19-13 win over Texas A&M. Some fans think the conference officials helped the Bulldogs beat the Aggies.
Numerous calls and non-calls went in UGA’s favor. No call for offensive pass interference on George Pickens’ touchdown and no call for pass interference Texas A&M’s third-down play that resulted in the Aggies’ final punt of the game loom large in a six-point decision.
Even former Bulldog David Pollack said Georgia got away with a penalty on the third-down pass.
That was clearly defensive holding or pass interference on Georgia’s defense. Got away with that one.

The mentions for the official Twitter account of SEC officiating were, predictably, a bloodbath:
@SECOfficiating y’all suck high school refs could be calling a better game right now

If @GeorgiaFootball had 2 losses already and weren't in contention for the @CFBPlayoff @AggieFootball would win this game. Change my mind. @SECOfficiating sucks

Bad look for SEC, it was almost blatantly obvious they wanted to make sure Georgia stayed at the fourth slot

Nothing for the SEC to gain if A&M wins. UGA is being “protected@
