College football lost my respect.

Through the entirety of this football season, I had to watch the SEC officials make one call after another to assure that the RIGHT team would make it to the championship game and that no matter who one, they would have one of the national title contenders. Yesterday, I watched the BIG 12 do the same thing for Texas. Nebraska scored the go ahead field goal (after a suspect no call against Texas, which would have given Nebraska a first down), and then kicked off to Texas. Immediately, the officials tack on an extra 15 yards on a VERY suspect call. They gave Texas the opportunity to march close enough to kick a 40 yarder and win the game. I am not sure I can accept college football as legitimate anymore. Why not just tell us who is going to win the National title at the beginning of the year so we don't have to ACT surprised.
