The Capron crew is officiating the NC game

Submitted by You Only Live Twice on

Did I hear this correctly?  The crew that swung our game in Columbus last year is officating the CFB championship??

At least there's no reason for bias since OSU isn't involved.   Still, how did Delaney get these guys into this game?  How much influence does he have, or is there some unbiased process?

He’s the head official but I don’t think it is his crew. According to Pat a Fitzgerald on the Film Room broadcast it is a “all star” Big Ten crew and not his normal crew.

Supposedly, this is all done by a standardized grading system of refereeing crews.

I am assuming (maybe incorrectly) that the grading is done by a unbiased, 3rd-party company. So whichever conference official end the season with the highest composite grade gets rewarded by refereeing higher profile conference championships/bowl games.

Son is keeping more of an eagle eye on the game than I am... he says the officiating is not a factor, which is not surprising, but Bama is a bit lackluster... which is!
