My thought on refs influencing game is this, as long as they are consistent throughout the game then it doesn't matter. If they are calling ticky-tack penalties the whole game, then they don't need to keep the flags in their pants just because their is less than 2 minutes left. At the same time if they haven't been calling "close ones" the entire game then they shouldn't start at the end of the game.

The main thing about officials deciding games that pisses me off is when they won't change a call on the field at the end of a game, such as a dropped TD pass, not breaking the plane, etc. Its like they are afraid of making that decision. Situations that come to mind is when Stanford clearly broke the plane against Notre Dame in OT and the refs refused to reverse it because it was against "Gods Team." Another one was the WVU vs TCU game when TCU went for 2 and the ball clearly touched the ground, but the refs didn't reverse it.

As for the Title game, I have no clue because I didn't watch. In fact I didn't watch a single bowl game this year.

No. There were just no games that intrigued me enough to give a damn.

Stumbled across this today. Tl;dr: Between 8-15% of student athletes can't read at a 3rd grade reading level. Interesting article, although small sample size to work with.

Read that earlier today. Got a good chuckle from it.

FWIW there is only one "memorable" NCG and that was when Texas beat USC. I really have no memory of any other one.

Actually I do sort of remember when OU beat FSU and FSU's only score was because of a bad snap on a punt that resulted in a safety.

SC/Texas was that "best game" I was making room for in my post. If you liked that game you would have found this one nearly as enjoyable.

No need to post an article. Any educated individual could assess this by listening to Florida State players do interviews after they won. My head about rolled off my shoulders.
