It is the Big Ten's turn to work the NC game. Then it'll either be Lemonnier, John O'Neil, or possibly Witvoet. It won't be Witvoet, he worked it the last time. Bill Lemonnier is retiring at the conclusion of this season, so it would be a great way to go out if he has EARNED it. Prominent bowls should not be used as the equivalent of "golden watches" in my opinion. I think John O'Neill is qualified to do the job as he is physically fit, appearance is good on camera, excellent mic skills, and gives confident signals.

Lemmonnier deserves to work the BCS Title Game based on his body of work throughout his career, but if he wasn't the highest rated referee in the Big 10, he shouldn't work it.

Losing Lemonnier is a huge loss for the Big Ten. He's one of the best the conference has every seen. Once Honig retired, he was THE guy.
