Not a fan of either team, but right after halftime Georgia blocked a Bama punt deep in their territory, but was called offsides and penalized. The replay clearly showed illegal motion on two Bama players that might have drawn them off. A couple of incidents that should have drawn personal foul penalties against Bama were ignored. Also, Bama was routinely holding all night and I don't recall them getting any penalties.

When it comes to officiating, I guess Bama is to football, what Duke is to basketball.

That, and the end-zone interception by Georgia that was called incomplete wasn’t exactly the best officiating either.

Apparently you can bounce a pass off someone, catch it in mid-air, and still not have it count.

That’s EXACTLY what I saw, throughout the second half!

On one of the Alabama 10-12 yard runs, they had two offensive linemen moving before the ball snapped, the defense was expecting an OBVIOUS illegal motion, but none came! The officiating in the second half was HORRENDOUS, and SUSPICIOUSLY PRO-Alabama!

Like the obvious and blatant face mask the refs didn’t see. Frankly I thought the Zebras should have been sent back to the Zoo not officiating a national championship.
