SEC refs had a rough outing during the Georgia-Auburn game. On Saturday night, Auburn fans called out SEC refs because they felt their team had scored a touchdown on a goal-line play that was ruled a fumble.

Later in the game, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart got away with lying to the refs about not calling a timeout, which helped the Bulldogs avoid a crucial delay of game penalty in the fourth quarter.
Kirby Smart told the officials he never asked for a timeout, he was just clapping.
And the stupid ass officials bought it. No timeout, no delay of game. pic.twitter.com/K2eQSTD1Xh
