SEC Official’s are horrible

Looked like refs in most of Clemson`s games. They call PI anytime there is any contact whatsoever. And can someone explain why that was not targeting when the lineman hit Bryce Young? Looked like a no-brainer to me.
Agree, thought it was targeting with Young's head being the target.
Just watched a compilation of bad calls from the game. It was pretty rough all around. You'd think being the highest profile game of the year so far in college football, the SEC would have had their A team in there for officiating. Maybe that was the A team. Definitely several key calls that impacted the outcome of the game.
If targeting was to be ruled out, which it was, roughing the passer should have been called. This was substantiated in one of the other televised games Saturday night. This situation was blatantly mishandled.
Yea, I saw that on the other game. But, once the QB starts to scramble and run doesn't he become just another runner and roughing the passer is not applicable?
Something I've learned after watching a lot of football is that all the refs suck, probably because they are human.
And they are always favoring whatever team we are cheering against.

I think that pretty much summarizes it. To some of our fans, if wasn't for refs, our football program would be 1,272-0
Besides being human, they are also part-time employees. Actually, I think they could be independent contractors. Some make a great living at this - most have another job as well.
What this means is that the conferences disagree with the fans and think the refs are doing just fine. Or at least meet a workable ratio of “good enough calls/money spent”
We've been discussing a play that was discretely reviewed for targeting and missed in two different respects by people who were on the field, in the booth, and in Birmingham. There's just no excuse for that.
Before we entered the conference, I thought the SEC refs were the best. ACC refs seemed to always have a hard on for us even when we were independent. And they still hate us. SEC officiating has seemed to reduce itself to a lower standard which is very disappointing.
