SEC officials are rearing their ugly heads, and once again, it comes at the expense of Auburn.

With the Tigers looking to go up 17-0 against No. 10 Georgia, Jackson Arnold seemed to be in the end zone. While it appeared to be a touchdown, Arnold lost control of the ball, and the Bulldogs regained possession.

On multiple replays, it was apparent that Arnold had gotten the ball over the goal line, but after a long delay, the call was upheld.

After the mistakes made by SEC officials in the Tigers' loss to Oklahoma, Auburn fans were not having it.

This is the worst officiating I’ve ever seen.

That’s a TD for auburn all day. IDK how they are going to call that a fumble…. But then again the SEC doesn’t want darling Georgia to lose.

If this is not clear and obvious enough to overturn a call, I don’t understand what the point of replay review is at all. Auburn got screwed here.

Refs have taken away a touchdown from Auburn and given Georgia 2 timeouts, and ejected an Auburn player for targeting within a 5 play span.

The refs in Auburn-Georgia have lost all control of this game at the moment.
