Do we get to have Big East officials again this week?

Anyone that has witnessed their team play an SEC team with their officials know there is favoritism.

I am not saying that the Big East officials gave that call to USF on purpose, but they did blow the call and it did have an outcome on the game. The next play, USF scores a TD. If not for the call, FAU has the ball on USF's 20, down four points with less then six minutes left.

They certainly are likely graduates of some school (possibly not Div-1 though) and that team is likely their #1 team. But, as casual fans of other games, they have to be influenced by something to develop a rooting interest. We all root for (or against) a lot of teams other than USF - albeit with less passion. Who were we rooting for when USM played Rice last week? Things happen throughout a lifetime that cause you to develop various rooting interests. Having a personal connection to a team or conference is one of those things.
