Dallas has lived off of it's rep for a long time. They have good crews, but even those crews have a superiority complex. And this is coming from someone who is a part of the chapter. It's easy to be mad at the comment, but if he were lying our numbers in the playoffs wouldn't be what they are.
Lot more complicated than just a Chapter "is not good". Dallas, to their credit, apparently has a crew formation policy that prevents any all D-1 crews. This is probably good for the long term health of the Chapter has "lower" classification officials get experience sooner than they might otherwise. But many playoff games come in with a caveat to have an all D-1 crew. So what do they do, break up an existing crew to make an artificial all D1 crew?
Also could be a factor of the schools who are playing. "Their" schools play in a Champ game and they are out of luck. Just ask Houston how that goes.
Maybe it is how they market themselves for the playoffs.
Are there officials "better" than the ones who will work these last 10 games? ABSOLUTELY! Even inside the Chapters those officials are coming from there are "better" officials in many cases. Are there going to be mistakes made? ABSOLUTELY I trust we are all in agreement that we hope any mistakes made are the ones that are typically only noticed by guys like us and definitely not ones that affect the outcome.
It is a mistake for anyone to assume Chapters and officials get games because "they are better". It is far more complicated than that simple (and incorrect) answer.
