SEC officiating has been a running joke for a long time. On Saturday, it cost No. 22 Auburn an upset win against No. 11 Oklahoma with two incredibly bad calls.
Greg Sankey needs to finally fix this, but that's as likely as a SEC ref getting a call right.

If you have Auburn at No. 9 in your AP Poll this week, you either have a grudge against either Auburn or Bruce Pearl or you are extremely dumb when it comes to basketball.
Those are the only two ways to explain your vote.

Dylan Cardwell could have transferred or hung up his cleats.
Instead, the Auburn center is playing the best basketball of his career while serving as the heartbeat and fan favorite of the No. 2 Tigers.

“Hi. I’m Greg McElroy. I was more ready for the NFL than Cam Newton. I don’t think Nick Marshall was a good quarterback. Bo Nix won’t improve in his sophomore year.
Also, will you please watch me throw this 4-yard screen to Julio Jones and him take it 67 yards for the TD?”

Quick thoughts:
1. Auburn's inability to keep opponents off the offensive glass continues to kill them.
2. Missing free throws in the second half absolutely hurt.
3. Chad Baker-Mazara continues to hurt his team with his selfish antics.
4. What, exactly, is taunting?

Thoughts on Bo Nix transferring:
1. He wants a shot at another school and he deserves that.
2. You might question his results during the past 3 years, but he never gave less than 100% for Auburn.
3. Behind a good offensive line, he will be productive.
Wish him the best.
