I don't think the SEC officials are great by any means, but they're far better than Pac and B1G officials.

The ACC crew in the Rose Bowl was the best of the bunch though IMO. You hardly even noticed them, and as a ref, that's a good thing.
B1G officiating has been terrible for about a decade

I know. They fucked over both UGA and Bama on a few plays. Mecole Hardman was out of bounds before he broke free of the tackler and ran to the endzone, and we got away with at least two PI non calls that I can remember.

Then they missed a blatant facemask on D'Andre Swift, and made an onsides call when we blocked a punt, though, the player was clearly not offsides, he just got a hell of a jump.

I wouldn't be happy either if I was in Kentucky.

Over the pass few years the ACC has added some decent officials.

Now, if Ron Cherry and his crew would have worked the Rose Bowl, there
would be 40 threads on every board about ACC officials.

But football is no different than basketball officiating, especially when it comes
to a neutral crew calling the game.

Each Conference has their own pet peeves and rules that they are more stringent on.
Each Conference sets their officiating to how their teams play.

In basketball if an ACC team is playing a Big East school and there are Big10 officials out
there...the ACC squad is gonna be physically pummeled. However, if an ACC school is
Playing a Big10 school and there are Pac12 officials calling the game, the Big10 school
needs to have dressed 20 players because 10 will be in deep foul trouble by halftime, and
the ACC team will be assessed property taxes for the time on the free throw line.

What's dancing to some is wrestling to others. You just have to adapt.

There are some good ACC football crews, but not many.

A lot of folks used to think Ron Cherry was biased against their school but they were wrong. Ron & his crew got paid based on the amount of TV time Ron got so every ticky tack call got a flag.

Kentucky needs to send the Colonel to the PAC for some payback.

They were pretty good...but I don't recall them having to make very many (if any) tough calls that would have brought attention to them.

They're doing it wrong then.

PAC officials will make an easy call a tough one just to bring attention to themselves.
