Interesting - why we get penalized...

Do you think it would better in the SEC or B10?

There is no way we enter those conferences tomorrow and suddenly all the calls against Miami are fair and balanced.

I thought that the ND/Florida games were few of the more level headed games in terms of ref calls .. officiated by SEC refs. Contrast that with the ACC fkups recently...

Some of these ACC calls and non-calls are so blatant and game changing... even the replay crew are in on it....

no other conference would ***** their leading teams to this extent.

Refs should be full time employees.

Have to give press conferences Monday morning after game.

They should have a performance based component of their compensation based on "missed calls" or lack thereof

The "missed calls" for each game should be made public as well as the calls (apparently there is a 10 max) that each team calls into question after a game

There should be an equivalent of PFF for refs. Percentage of missed calls, length of game, etc...

I think those conferences would recognise what they have in Miami as a brand.

The ACC has always been jealous of Miami. They wanted the rub of having them in the conference, but they never wanted them to actually win and dominate the conference. That would have been too much for the Tobacco Road boys.

I'm a Carolina Panthers fan - spend any time on their boards. You cannot talk College football, they (and they're Duke, NC St, USCe, UNC and Clemson fans primarily) hate Miami with a passion.
 
Its as much the non-calls that are disturbing. Saturday Mesidor beat the left tackle so the tackle wrapped his arms around him so Mesidor simply carried him on his back and made the sack. Our defensive line gets held all the time. Also the mild touch of the QB's face mask would only be called on us.

Our past teams were so good they laughed at the refs and kicked butt. Our recent teams get upset when they should just laugh it off and play harder. I hope our current team has watched the Cotton Bowl game, the one that resulted in the "Miami" rule.
 
Most of the fouls that hurt us the most are pre-snap stuff…there’s no reason we should have so many of them when the OLine is coached by an OLine guy and a midget whose supposedly one of the best.

Those penalties don’t come from the refs hating us they come from plain stupidity.Those are the penalties that continually put us behind the chains.

As far as calls not being made against our opponents the worst I would have to think would be holding which never seems to be called against our opponents even when it’s obvious with a ref standing and looking straight at it.But this was about penalties being called against us and 90% of our calls are self inflicted and has nothing to do with refs hating us.

Yes, our penalties are our fault. But it's impossible to explain how low our opponents penalties are. After the SMU game, someone posted the penalty stats for ACC teams. We have only had 25 penalties called against our opponents for the year. That's about 3 per game. Which is ridiculous. The next closest team in the ACC is at 37 (50% higher) and nearly everyone is in the 50s and 60s. It's pretty damning when it's week after week, every team we face has so few penalties called on them compared to all their other games.
 
What’s egregious to me is the bad calls not made. For example, the DPI or defensive holding flag picked up late in the SMU game. That would’ve offset the crap holding call on Mauigoua. The penalty was obvious call. It wasn’t close. It wasn’t a case of letting the players play. You threw the flag you must’ve seen something now you want to change your mind?

I can live with a close missed call. Miami has even benefited from a few of those believe it or not. Referees are human. What bothers me is the inconsistency and incompetency, even in the ACC review booth we get to watch on TV. That last second sideline catch in the SMU game? We’re watching the replay with a receiver juggling the ball and doesn’t gain control until he lands out of bounds, all while we listen to the idiots in the review room tell us otherwise.

I’m still get angry when I remember those two safeties called back as tackles on the 1-yard line against FSU and Clemson two years ago. The replay camera angle down the goal line clearly showed the quarterback tackled in the end zone. He wasn’t hit at the 1-yard line and knocked backwards.

We need more pundits like Josh Pate calling out the officiating every week.

We need more YouTube channels and X accounts with video reviewing bad calls and naming names. No doxing, no, but I have no problem naming the referees. If your job can impact the outcome of a game, you need to be held accountable.

We stop the dead ball penalties and we are 8-1 instead of 7-2.

Biggest problem for me - dead ball penalties plus Mario/Mirabal not pulling dudes when they commit multiple dead ball fouls.

Idc if it’s CiCi or if it’s the Center from TCU - pull them when they do it and let them sit for a series. Guys value playing time and it will fix it more than “you owe me such and such at practice on Monday”
Simulating the snap is a thing and is a reason we have so many deadball penalties.

There was one against Louisville that was ridiculous. When the Dt shifted to his right he swung his right arm back like he had just set his hand down on a rattle snake his entire torso twisted as he brought the arm back when he shifted. To me just based on motion that one has been the worst this year that didnt get called.
