Officials from every conference make mistakes. It comes with the territory.

My biggest complaint with PAC officials is that they make themselves an integral part of the game. Yes, the majority of their calls are technically correct but like basketball officials that start blowing the whistle on every ticky tack call, you can really ruin the game flow and enjoyment of a game by getting whistle happy and boy oh boy to PAC officials like to do that. I like the motto that the best officiating is officiating you hardly notice. Never the case in the PAC.

I live in Dallas and watch a lot of Big 12 football, and your comments about the Pac 12 officiating match the exact thoughts of fans here about Big 12 officials. They consistently fall short of reasonable expectations, and they really struggle to explain some of the bad decisions. This problem is bigger than just one conference. I love the idea of building the pipeline with smaller conferences. Hoping that happens in both conferences soon.
