Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4414045, member: 40"] I don't think there any concerted effort to harm certain schools, but preferential treatment is certainly applied. I'll never forget the first ACCT, when the GT fan sitting next to us [paraphrasing] welcomed us to the conference, and told us that we needed to get prepared to get screwed over by the Carolina-centric bias. I've seen that bias applied at key inflection points in games, in such a way that they've had a massive influence. The OL downfield call when we picked up the first down against Clemson in 2018. The call this year. The secondary offensive foul call against CJ Fair @ Duke. Is there some secret memo that goes out, with the ACC Illuminati pulling ref puppet strings? Of course not. But Carolina-centric bias [borrowing again from the warning provided by the GT fan] -- yup. [/QUOTE]
