They'll never be as bad as the Sun Belt crew that worked the Alamo Bowl 4 or 5 years ago and made national headlines they were so bad. I don't think our crew has worked a game involving a P5 team since.

I thought the Sun Belt used SEC officials as well as the same instant reply resources???

Our officials are assigned by the SEC office, but we don't get SEC officials. SEC essentially just hires our officials. When an official is hired, they are assigned to either the SEC or the Sun Belt.

We use the SEC's replay offices in Birmingham, so we do get their replay guys.
Side note, if anyone is curious how officials assignments for Bowl work...Here's the format:

P5 Leagues: Officials work 5 bowls
G5 Leagues Officials work 3 bowls, with one G5 league getting a 4th bowl on a rotating basis (MAC gets extra crew this year, working Independence Bowl)

Week 1 Bowls are almost exclusively assigned to G5 leagues. Big 10 usually gets at least one week 1 game
Week 2 Bowls are 90 percent assigned to P5 leagues. The G5 vs G5 bowls get G5 refs, and a couple P5/G5 matchups get G5 refs. Hawaii, Independence, and Arizona get G5 refs this year (Zona is CUSA refs)

New Years 6/Semifinals/National title game: Top level P5 crews. National Championship Game must be assigned to a league that does not have a Semifinal rep (Big 10 has title game this year) If you get the National title game, you usually do not get assigned another New Years 6 Bowl.

Might be nice to do that?. At least the crew got a trip to Hawaii out of it.
Sun Belt referees:

Can be competent.
or
They can be ethical.

But never both at the same time.

A group of blind people could better officiate a game than SoCon officials.
I thought they did a good job. The tv announcers actually complimented them.
