The College Football Playoff received some good news and some bad news on Wednesday when it was announced which referee crews would be working each game.

Big Ten officials will work the Orange Bowl (No. 1 Clemson vs. No. 4 Oklahoma), while Big 12 refs will work the Cotton Bowl (No. 2 Alabama vs. No. 3 Michigan State), according to Kirk Bohls of the Austin-American Statesman. That makes sense, of course, because you don't want a Big Ten crew working a game with Michigan State in it for all the obvious conflicts of interest there.

There will be no ACC or SEC crews working any of the three games, and as any fan of ACC football can tell you, not having ACC referees deciding one of the biggest games of the season is good news.

But now for the bad news. The only game I haven't mentioned yet is the title game itself, and the only Power Five conference I haven't mentioned is ...

That's right, Pac-12 refs are working the title game, which means there's a decent chance the national title will be decided by a missed call.

I know or knew,haven't seen him in years, a Big 8, then 12 ref. We were in the same business as manufactor reps. He lived in the area of Stillwater. He absolutely hated OU, yet he called both our FB and BB games for years. I once asked him if he let his feelings reflect his calls. He was adamant that in no way he ever did. I believed him just by the anger in his voice when he answered me.

He's pretty famous today. He's the one that made the famous tOSU\Miami botched call in the NC game. He also called the Tech crawling td against OU a decade or so ago.........

I actually don't believe he botched the DPI call in the 2002 title game.

And in typing that, I'm not saying that because of my hatred of Miami football. aka Thug U.
