Claiming that Michigan did not play a good game is defending UI how?
I tend to agree with MT2R opinions regarding officials, not necessarily regarding the Big10, but officiating in general. Unconscious biases do enter into account in such decision making practices. As a social scientist I have actually studied such phenomena. This is not dissimilar from how judges make decisions as outlined by political scientists. Furthermore, we have seen statistical evidence of unconscious biases re: race playing a role in NBA officiating in the past year.
It's not really tin foil hat theory to argue that people see what they expect to see. Tin foil hat theory is that the Big10 officials are consciously making bad calls to benefit tOSU and UMich to please the Tressel/Carr/Gates/Vatican/Bush/Masonic world power structure (or that they are doing it to screw the other teams so ensure tOSU-UMich dominance). He is not saying that.
