This is impossible. Think of the logistics: you’d need all 1,600+ players, 400+ coaches, and 80+ weekly officials to be in on a conspiracy. And they'd have to plan it before the season even started, without knowing which teams would be good or bad. It's idiotic. You can't get 5 people to keep a secret, let alone thousands of 18-22 year olds. It’s not 'rigged,' it's just football. Go watch the B1G feed their top 4 if you want a real conspiracy.
If the refs were trying to produce favorable outcomes for the whole conference, they would’ve made Vandy win. It’s much more likely for a one loss team to get into the playoffs than a three lost team. You’re also ignoring the fact that out of conference games aren’t always wrapped by SEC reps so is every conference in on the conspiracy?
