[QUOTE="Dogfrog, post: 3188222, member: 1924"] I think football officials are mostly very professional and competent. I also don’t believe they go into a game attempting to decide the outcome. However, they are human. Their paycheck is signed by the conference they work for and they are keenly aware of the importance of the outcome to their employer, particularly at the higher levels where championships and playoff appearances mean $$$$$. I think it is unintentional, but subconsciously on a very close play it could affect the call. They don’t want to be the guy called into the conference office to be reminded a missed call cost us millions. [/QUOTE]
