Does anyone know about their selection? It seems to me that, in the past, they couldn't come from either participant's conference, but how does Notre Dame being an indy fit in with that?

Earle,
From all I've found states they will come from one of the 6 AQ conferences, minus consideration if a team from that conference is in the game. I haven't seen anything on which conference is officiating this year.

It is a task that is considered both a reward and a huge responsibility, according to Rogers Redding, the national coordinator for college football officiating.

As Redding explained, the selection of the officiating crew is based in part on rotation as well as expertise. Only crews from the six automatic qualifier conferences -- SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Big East and Pac 12 -- are considered, and crews from conferences represented in the game are not eligible to officiate.
That was from an article before last years BSCNCG btw...

Notre Dame uses Big East crews, which I assume would eliminate them from contention along with SEC officials.

Big 12 officiated last year, so if they rotate it we are down to Pac 12 or little 10 :) ... of course ND doesn't particiate in ACC football...so I suppose they could be in the mix also...

From what I've heard, the crew is supposed to be from the PAC-12. I'm not certain that's a fact, but it's out there.

The poor SEC officials never get to do it. ;)
Fine by me, there have been a lot of times in OOC games that it seems like the SEC refs are going out of their way with the calls to make it obvious they're not home-cooking to the point of away-cooking. Have no proof of this, just a general feeling sometimes.
