While SEC officiating has been a known problem for quite some time, and fans of the conference have complained about it, the 2025 college football season has brought some of the worst and most controversial calls.
Auburn and head coach Hugh Freeze have been on the wrong side of some of those calls, including this past Saturday in a 20-10 loss to No. 10 Georgia. The Tigers seemed to take a 17-0 lead late in the second quarter, but it was ruled that Jackson Arnold had fumbled before the ball had crossed the goal line. Despite evidence to the contrary, the call was upheld, and the Tigers didn't score another point.
