Football is a human game and humans make errors. I personally do not like the pursuit of perfection. Improvement? Yes.

I would be happy to hear less "The previous play is under review". Go with the call on the field more often then not. and centralize all officials.

1. Officiating should be the responsibility of the NCAA. NOT conferences.

2. The ruling on the field needs to hold more weight

A VERY short list of "official" reviews

-Targeting

-Clock management

3. Each Coach can request the review of ANY play/call 1 time per quarter.

That's it! Nothing more from the "booth"

I know everyone is going to hate this idea, but I think these simple changes would improve the on-field performance of the officials.

Yes the clock expired but officials let USC run a play. They threw a completion to the half yard line. I don’t understand then and don’t now why it’s a big deal. Yes the clock started at the wrong time but USC got it’s play off and didn’t score. There is no way that they could have gotten two plays off in those five seconds when one was a completed pass, so what’s the harm. It was an error without consequence.
