Referees cheating to help Ohio State

Watching OSU vs Michigan. The referees are obviously working to ensure that Ohio State is going to win. Some comical, ridiculous calls made to help OSU. Even the announcers and Fox's staff referees are amazed.

I don't care who wins, I'm a UVa fan no stake here. The OSU receiver was clearly out of bounds. The replay didn't lie.....except to the referees.
