Interesting article on refs that mentions the Buffs

The only thing worse than pac 12 officiating would be officiating run by the ncaa.
LOL. Good point.
I must be psychic ... because yesterday before this article came out I raised this very issue re the game tonight in the CU v UDub pre-game thread.
And after perusing this article ... I have even more misgivings about the possible bias, deliberate or unconscious, of the refs tonight. If we get to play on a level playing field in respect to calls made on the field, I believe we win. If not ...

Good research. **** the NCAA for belittling this research. This research is not a one and done study, research like this is compounding offering different orders of complexity. If the NCAA had any balls then offer this Ph.D some grant money to continue this study.

The P12 refs are insane. Our only hope is that we're a dog and P12 refs often like to parlay their game checks in LV before games. We have to make this one decisive.
I'll never forget the phantom holding call against CU when we played Miami at Folsom back in the 90's. I believe the crew was from the SEC. I think we scored a TD but were called for holding. But in the replay, there was no holding to be found. I wonder if the guy's study looked at inter conference games reffed by a crew from one team's conference?
At any rate, I believe officials try to be fair. But, sometimes, their is just a subliminal bias.

Udub to the CFP and USC to the Rose. That right there provides motive for envelopes of cash to be handed over to refs.
No doubt CU gets more PI calls and personal fouls tonight.

Thanks my man.
While there may be correlation that the 'lesser' teams get more penalties, it may may not be ref bias that's the cause. I know from personal experience that when a team (or even a player) is over matched they are more likely to start pushing the rules. No one holds more than an offensive tackle against a DE rusher that can beat him frequently. Teams playing from behind are much more likely to hold, or commit PI because they are getting beat.
someone would have to watch a lot of film to really determine if there is bias.

Yeah. If anyone blames this one on officiating he loses his fan card.
Agreed. The only consequential call I remember was the PI call on TT early in the game ... and it was totally a good call and a bad play by Tedrick.
I blame this loss on the officiating! UW kept punching us in the mouth with no calls! We played fair and tried not to hurt anyone. The refs should have two flags: A yellow penalty flag and a pink "reward" flag. Last night they would've thrown the pink flag and said, "15 yard reward to Colorado for not hitting the Washington running back. 1st and 25, Washington."
