- This video shows six terrible calls by the officials in one College Football Bowl game. All six calls favored the same team. This is arguably the most badly called game in college football history.

I like how the announcers just keep getting more and more pissed off.
There's nothing to like about this video and the officiating
chris spielman is pretty much always pissed off.
If the announcers are pissed, you know it's really fucked up.
Spielman still talks about that game. I live in Dayton Ohio and I remember it like yesterday. What ever happened to those Refs? Were they fired because they should have been.
@@gregj831 They retired on the money they made betting on the same game.
The most obviously rigged game by the officials I have ever seen. That was absolutely pathetic and it was STILL close.
Obviously rigged??? I mean a horribly called game I'll agree with but rigged. Come on now rigging games is a crime serviceable by prison so calling it rigged is a strong accusation.
Florida was the beneficiary of some horrible calls a few years later against Arkansas. Was so bad the officials got suspended. But Tebow/Fla was protected.
No question but that the horrific officiating gave the game to Florida.
@@DWM2309 They literally called a facemask on the dude who got his mask yanked. I have no idea how you fuck that up unless you're deliberately trying to screw the other team
There should have been an investigation. Never seen anything like it, that I can recall. But to question their own would open a can of worms.
Facemask against the offense was priceless.
At first you’re like ok it’s rarely called on an offensive player but then u see the play and it’s like, did the ref just expose that they were betting against Iowa?!
Im not even an Iowa fan, and I cannot watch this. It makes my skin crawl.
I have friends that were florida fans that were pissed off, not only at the thought that their team may have paid off the refs, but at the sheer fact that they won the game in the most unfair way possible. This whole game was a disgrace, there were other calls missed as well.
Very true statement
Agree- there were some bad calls/no calls for PI in 1 st half
It's one thing when the announcers are calling out the bad calls but it's a completely different tone when the fans of the team that won this type of game are calling out these bad calls.
Hawkeye fan here. The refs in that game were from the Sun Belt conference and the NCAA has banned all of those refs from that game from officiating a Bowl game ever again. The Sun Belt conference was also banned from officiating with ANY crew for 5 years.
Florida fan here. Terrible calls, and damn, Sun Belt refs suck xD
Joe Berven Texas fan here and I have to say that was the worst officiating I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. It’s great that the officiating crew from the Sunbelt conference got banned for this. This was outright ridiculous. When the play by play commentators are getting pissed off and in shock you know something is wrong with this picture. Someone got rich in Vegas
good as they should
That would have drove me crazy watching it
I figured they were ACC refs.
I love how even the commentators were getting pissed...I also feel big penalties that potentially change outcomes of games at pivotal moments should be reviewable.
The refs definitely got paid off to secure a bowl win for Urban Meyer and his legacy.
JakeGraceAndGlory clueless, lmao. Nothing to do with Urban
God I love Spielman commentating, his anger is noticeable and hilarious. I couldn't imagine being next to him in the booth, "NO MORE TACKLING!"
Best use of the "let's just play flag football, no more tackling" line I've ever heard. Usually it's some cranky old guy complaining about the existence of rules designed for player safety. Spielman, however, was right on the money. This was a normal tackle that got kinda close to the head, and you can see the official thinking for a beat before deciding to throw the flag.
That's really getting close to criminal ineptitude...
First 3 are questionable. Last 3 definitely make it clear refs had it out for Iowa.
Jamal Carter the 12 man on field penalty was probably let go because the extra player did not interfere with the play.
So? You see that call made countless times a year. Teams hurry to snap it when they see guys running off just to get a flag.
@@dansugardude2655 Because he didn't interfere with the play?? Please show us where it says that in the rule book! Lame excuse, dude!
None of them were questionable. They were all patently terrible calls.
@@dansugardude2655 this guy obviously doesn’t know anything about football
I'm a Gator fan, but what were these calls LOL.
Rigged game.
Nobody in their right mind could argue those calls weren't intentional.
I agree completely. This buckeye fan has never seen anything like that before or since.
Yeah let’s rig the outback bowl lol
@@willhopson1277 ever heard of gambling and betting on sports?
@@mikeyoungblood1642 I'm getting sick and tired of you "woke heads" sports is not rigged it's entertainment so they go with the best narratives. People take sports almost religiously that's why people say "rigged" like what🤣 not understanding they're watching entertainment almost like a reality TV show.
@@mikeyoungblood1642 think, two years later Florida wins the natty. They had to build up Florida's championship journey narrative. It's all entertainment nothing more. Stop taking sports seriously 🤣🤣
what kinda shit is that?? Really hope those refs got fired.
SteveRocksOut stfu bitch
SteveRocksOut they probably got a nice payday for that
I was gonna say it's just a salty Iowa fan, but this was just bad.
This crew had absolutely no business at all on a football field! They couldn't officiated a Pop Warner game.
Someone had money on this game
this video pissed me off so much about their calling.
Gators must had paid that ref or he had a bet on the side. 😂
the whole florida team probably sucked him off before the game
Why do I keep clicking on this every time it shows up in my recommended? One of the only videos on RUclips that genuinely affects my mood after I put my phone down.
The helmet to helmet that was not a helmet to helmet hit was funny because of how the announcer called, throw flags on everyone That's it no more tackling. That was hilarious. And yes this was probably the worst officiated game in the history of any sport.
No question whatsoever there was a payoff and the game was fixed. Bad calls happen but not like that. That was rigged. One call makes it obvious. 12 men on the field is a call that officials watch like hawks. The referee 5 feet from the 12th man running off of the field not calling it is so ridiculous you have to laugh at someone who doesn't think it was rigged. The only question is: "How much money did they make off of it?" 5 more ridiculous calls just add to the joke.
Ya seriously
Rolo Tamase it's possible (don't know for sure) that he passed on calling the 12 people on the field because the official determined that the extra person did not interfere with the play.
As for the face mask, well, there's no excuse for getting that call wrong.
15 yards going the wrong way does make me wonder what went on behind the scenes before this game. Did the league commissioner tell the officials to call the game this way? Did the head referee simply decide to tell his crew to call it as such? If the commissioner is at fault, then he or she was hopefully banned for life after this travesty. If the head ref was ah fault, then he definitely should never officiate any sporting events of any kind at any level in any way ever again.
it doesn't matter if the 12th man didint interfere in the play, ITS A PENALTY! There's no leway in the rule that allows an official to determine if the player did or did not effect play, IRRELEVANT! The wrong face mask call may be the worst call ever made. I don't understand why 88 just accepted it and did not go nuts, that was very strange.
@@dansugardude2655 I've seen many 12 men on the field calls where the player running out of bounds has literally only 1 toe inbounds. Cut the BS please!!!
I don't know if they did, but the NCAA should have looked into their bank accounts and other assets, or hire some (former) FBI agents with experience of tracking "under the radar" money.
As a Cyclone fan who watched this game. I smirked part of the time thinking, "I like how the commentators think Iowa will get a break against a big name school like Florida." I wanted Iowa to win. This game was one of the worst officiated games of all time.
I remember this game well, as I watched it. Let me state that I am a Tennessee fan, my son is a Gator fan. I am not a fan of either Iowa, or Florida. To this day, I still remember that horrible facemask call, which still defies logic. How a ref can call a facemask penalty on the wrong person, is simply incredible. I remember telling my son about what a terrible call that was, and how his Gators got breaks the entire game. Also, the off-sides on the onside kick recovery. That entire game, Iowa had call after call, go against them, in a game they deserved to win. I agree...this was the worst officiated game in history. Florida always seems to get these...The "catch" which wasn't, against Tennessee, etc. But for an entire game, this one takes the blue ribbon for bad officiating.
Could not agree more. This buckeye fan has never seen anything like it. It was as if the refs had simply pre-ordained that Florida was the better team and so what was the point in actually calling things fair? Iowa though, was having none of it and kept playing hard.
I’m really sorry to hear your son is a Florida fan. My condolences😂😂
Man iowa almost beat the Florida Refs
I bet whoever was in charge of making sure Florida won was shitting themselves when Iowa still almost won anyway.
Ill always remember this game for the onside kick but i was 10 so thats all i remember. This game was much worse than I thought
grow up
and then pop of
pip squeak
what is your mom doing?
Puffytaco=fattwat
I don't like Iowa but those refs were on every drug imaginable.
Beesweet Eugene
This ranks up there with the officiating at the 2022 Alabama vs Tennessee game. After a performance like this, the refs should be banned from calling another game. Looks like a payoff for somebody somewhere.
Did anyone notice who the coach was in that game for Florida? That's right, the chosen one himself. Urban Meyer. Just like the calls he gets at OSU now. The guy is a good coach, but I've never seen a coach get so many favored calls. It's like he has 6 assistant coaches in every game. They are all wearing stripes.
lol true. This is coming from a Florida fan
so true
Iowa vs Florida has to be the most rigged game in College Football history
I think the ref was trying to fix the game... All of those calls were just down right horrible
It's not enough for the SEC teams to be at home, they also need the referees to rig the game in order to beat Iowa.
They weren''t SEC refs...
Never said they were
Iowa sucks dude!!! No one needs any help beating there ass.
How's LSU doing in their conference race this year?
Daniel Allen obviously Florida did lol
As a FSU fan this made me sick to my stomache and I feel bad for Iowa. Heres to hoping you guys destroy Penn State this weekend. Iowa is what i consider one of the most underrated teams in the nation.
Was expecting a bunch of calls from different games. But all these calls in the same game against the same team? Somethings not right here!
During the 2018 Michigan-Northwestern game, Michigan's running back got called for holding after he was tackled off play action
Iowa fans are so used to this. Just wtch our game againt NW this last saterday
There is nothing in the same universe as this game when it comes to officiating. NOTHING!!!
How many unreal calls go against one team before someone seeing this that Iowa was robbed bad Check out Face Mask and Onside kick at end despite it Iowa came all the way back and had a chance to win Even Chris Spielma said it was unreal and he is no fan of Iowa
Estel Walker shit anyone with a brain knew that this game was terribly officiated. That penalty with facemask to facemask was gonna be called regardless due to somewhat of a late hit, but that facemask penalty on Iowa's WR Solomon?? Ohh boy WTF was that?? Yep someone got rich that day..
that's sec for u cheat to win
Now Iowa gets a rematch this year
JRClutch and got destroyed go gators
Iowa lost ha
JRClutch go state
Isaiah Fisher at least we made a bowl game that year
This type of stuff is an embarrassment to the sport.
Jeff B
It's a shame when terrible officiating steals these great plays and accomplishments from student athletes that may never get a chance to play on the higher level. I don't usually use it as an excuse but in this case I have to agree worst officiating I have ever seen
I remember this game. It was ridiculous and clearly bias and I’m not a fan of either team.
'Worst officiating?' That was clearly just a sham.
12 men on the field was so sweet cause the ref was right in from of him lol.
I remember how pissed I was after this game
I'm a sec fan but that couldn't have been anymore rigged
Another Meyer team getting the win because of horrible calls
ruben contreras Go ahead and give one more example you dumb fuck lmao
This must be the same crew that did the NFC Championship Game with this Rams and the Saints
holy crap, as a HAWKEYES I have never seen this, that was insane bad calls. Especially the offsides at the end when Iowa would have tied it! WOW
that facemask call is by far the worst call i have ever seen in any sport. thats where it goes from "bad game from the ref" to "who paid them off?"
The coordinator of the CUSA refs admitted that 5 calls were under review. He specifically cited the onside kick penalty. 1)The rule at the time of this game was if the receiver was in bounds, catches the ball in the air, and the defender pushes him out of bounds, he would be called in bounds.
2)Roughing the kicker - first off, the ref called "running into the kicker" not "roughing" the former is a 5 yard penalty the latter is a 15 yarder. The kicker landed on the defender, not a penalty.
vols play gators every year and we have to deal wit this crap every year. this y we hate Florida. example last year they didn't stop clock.bout 2 minutes left field goal wins for vols. our guy ran OUTTA bounds clock didn't stop. first down still didn't stop forcing us to use last timeout wit like five seconds left to kick long field goal and miss and lose. this crap like this happens every year and gator fans brag how they always beat us. this is y vols hate gators and sec hates gators. we wish they would get kicked from sec
Got what you losers wanted smh.
The real reason you want us "kicked out" is because we beat you losers 11 years in a row lmfao.
LordDusk 4 years and counting. Go Noles!😂
Blue and orange make me wanna puke. #FloridaK
Truly disgusting I'm an SEC fan but this is highway robbery I remember this game couldn't believe my eyes and ears I heard that this game has been analyzed by hundreds of different referees committee members and so on and such forth truly unbelievable game clearly these guys hated Iowa in the Big ten but like I said on another comment Terry these guys are just like you and me they have their favorite teams and they have their teams that they can't stand it goes that way in all sports they are all referees and umpires are supposed to take an oath of non-partisanship but it doesn't work that way all the time it's the same way with announcers of games but just remember like I just said the umpires the referees they have their favorite teams and the teams they don't like or can't stand the most unbelievably bad called game in the history of not just college football of all sports combined
This looks like the Ohio State and Clemson game
I knew it would be Ron Cherry's crew before I even watched the video.
His crew and Dave Witvoet's crew in the Big10 are the 2 worst officiating crews in college football and it isn't even close.
Buckeye fan here. Holy shit I remember this game like it was yesterday. How could I not with all those horrible calls. At the time I was wondering if I was overreacting to all of it but I wasn't. Those bad calls were real. I actually thought the Iowa fans were going to riot at the end of the game.
Did the refs get paid off?
I have said this before, and I will say this again, they should make offsides on kick offs reviewable. It cost Iowa the game here, and UNC the game many years ago when they played Clemson in the ACC Championship.
I was watching this wondering how in the hell an officiating crew could be so blatantly bias, then I saw/remembered that Urban Meyer was Florida’s coach at the time. We know he has a limitless checkbook. Absolute disgrace not just to college football, but to all sports in general.
Why is Ron Cherry in so many of these bad calls.
As a missouri fan I am very touchy about horrible officiating and how it can ruin a game (the 5th down vs. colorado, the "kick" vs. nebraska) and in the case it is so incredibly bad that it looks as though the refs had a large sum of money at stake on this game. This game should torn from the sporting history book and the refs never allowed near a football field again.
Iowa got revenge on Urban Meyer 55-24 in 2017.
Well the problem is Iowa was playing Florida with Urban Meyer coaching that was one of the worst cheating teams until he left
Now that he is at OSU, nothing has changed!
+Sean Smith ya but now it's the same for OSU now
+The GuyThatMakesFootballVideos oh i know, every game osu get everything their way! love how he went after jimbo for not disciplining winston but he didnt really do anything to his "golden" boy JT
Ya true but Jameis Was completely out of control JT just happened to be just over the intoxication limit for driving but I agree completely
+The GuyThatMakesFootballVideos MSU hopefully makes things right again for the big ten this coming saturday! go Green
I agree. This game had the worst officiating in the history of CFB.
I am amazed by how many kids just don't know that the forceout was a rule for a longggg time, I'm only 18 and I remember it.
Whats even more incredible is that Iowa was called for 8 penalties and Florida had none
Was there an investigation into this absolute atrocity?! I don't even remember hearing anything about this and the evidence is overwhelming that, at the very least, something's not right with all the bad calls, blatantly bad calls, going against only the 1 team!
I'm willing to venture refs had money on the game or were getting paid.
All of these were terrible except #1. Unless I am missing something, or maybe the rules were different in 2006, the WR landed out of bounds so didn't they get that one correct?
#3 and #4 were down right disgraceful. This had to have been fixed.
shanahan142008 back then it was a judgment call. If the ref thought the receiver would land in bounds if he was not hit, it would be a catch.
The first two I think were ok calls, but the last ones were obviously terrible. Good video
anyone get the names of those guys. 10 years of aggression ready to dish out
Another was a stupid sideline warning when no Iowa players were even near. Then there was the disconcerting signals penalty against Iowa where Florida was clearly offsides and were even moving back 5 yards anticipating the penalty.
Tomczak blew his stack after his "are you kidding me" comment. Tomczak has absolutely no love for Iowa but he was fit to be tied.
Clemson Ohio State 2019 said "hold my beer"
nah but this was hard to watch, as a fan of Urban Meyer, his team definitely should of lost this game
I'm about 99% sure that the force-out rule was NFL-only. College has never had it.
If I remember right, didn’t Florida win the National Championship the next season? Almost like... it was rigged from the start
so many bad calls in the same game? At Florida...not surprising.
Man I never watched this game. Some of the worst calls I have ever seen. 12 men on the field?? Come on ref, WTF? I hate it went the Ref controls the outcome of a game. Damn Florida refs
There was another call missed when Dallas Baker went out of bounds and then came back in to catch a touchdown and put Flordia up 24-7.
you can hear the announcer noticing it more and more. going from "thats certainly an arguement Iowa could make" to "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?"
This makes me seethe with rage to this day. I will never rout for Florida or Urban Meyer under any circumstances for the rest of my life because of this game. And I still don't know what happened to these refs after this scam.
I almost threw my TV out the window for this game
The refs had a contract with the SEC....
"Yes sir, the check is in the mail...."
This was not bad officiating at all. It was actually excellent since the game was obviously fixed. They had a job to do and it's clear they did their job very well. And no, not an Iowa fan but a football fan in general. I hate seeing things like this but it happens more often than we realize.
Incredible that every single one of these terrible calls favored Florida.
I feel bad for Iowa fans now. If I were one I would have went damn near crazy during this game. Props for staying in the game though, considering you were playing 2 teams at one time.
I pity SEC for so many low quality wins. This was not the only apparent "BRIBED REFEREE" officials... But also many others in the past. I would not admit a victory if iam a gator's coach or player.
The SEC officials always always try their best to keep 1 team from SEC conf to play in the NT.
On the very first call, I’m not sure there is a force-out rule in college as there is in the pros (The reasoning being that you only need to get 1 foot in); but part of his body landed inbounds anyway so it was a catch.
that makes me embarrassed as a florida fan lol that was horrible calling
There were more bad calls! There was a horrific spot given to the Gators where they we stopped them on 3rd down in front of the official nearly 2 yards from the first down marker. The ball was moved forward over 2 yards from where the player's knee clearly went down. From 3th down and punt to 1st down and a score. Conference USA admitted the bad calls and publicly apologized to Iowa. The NCAA fined the officials for the bad calls. Two were fired as a result. Those are indisputable facts.
I remember getting up on New Years Day and turning this game on. I saw everyone of these bad calls but kept wondering if they really were or were things just that close! They really that bad and I remember the Iowa fans looked they were ready to storm the field and tackle the refs. I've never seen fans anywhere that upset and rightly so. Recall that Iowa had completely demolished Florida the year before so you had to wonder if the refs were trying like hell to allow the Gators vengeance. In any case this game was the worst anybody had ever seen as far as officiating went. I think even Florida's fans were stunned.
I was pretty young during this game but if i remember right, there were newspapers and articles with the headline of "Florida's 12th man." my mom was RAGING at the tv
To those wondering if these officials were fired, they were. I believe 6 lost their jobs. I know wikipedia as well as another sports news site stated they did.
Anyone who thinks that this game's officiating wasn't horrific just needs to turn on the volume and listen to the commentators.
Absolutely the worst officiating ever. I was practically crying. I'm puzzled why there was never challenge by Ferentz.
I totally agree but you can't review penalties.
even with all those bad calls, they were still within 7 at the end. They had a chance, which means Florida needed all those calls in their favor to win. Check the officials pocketbooks after that one.
Remember watching this game when I was 12 years old. One of the saddest days of my young life being a lifelong hawks fan. When they called that offside on the kickoff, that almost hurt as much as Bartman interfering with Alou in the 03' NLCS. No lie, I thought they were gonna tie it. Woulda had the ball of Florida's 48 with 1:22 left.. Tate coulda got in in for sure. :( oh well..
Im a 12 year old huge hawk fan, this is sad. I've never in my life seen worse calls. Iowa would have won this game and would have beat LSU and Florida in consecutive years in bowls. I cant believe this. I"m not allie,her brother.
Complete total disgrace, but this is the NCAA we are talking about. Hopefully this referring crew will never ref another game.
3) The helmet to helmet was ridiculous. The defender was coming from behind the QB and clearly just landed on him. Get some glasses if that looks iffy.
