Refs need to be full time employees that actually have to continue to get training year round and evaluations.
People seem to forget that a lot of refs are part timers with other jobs. They get a few weeks of training before the season.
The whole system needs an overhaul. Right now we are seeing a lot of experience referees have retired and turned to booth work and we have a lot less talent out there.
Granted the SEC has had horrible refs for as long as I can recall. And not just the "Bama favoritism" but just being terrible as a whole.

My next door neighbor where I use to live was an ACC official. Good guy he got out of it when he got a little age to him. He was a good official as well. Was the white hat in one of the BCS title games. We talked a lot and what I learned was you can’t make a living calling college football. The pay was kind of embarrassing. It’s probably gone up some but still probably not enough. They have a fitness test they have to pass and they do have to go on and have to have continuous training each year.
