It is confirmed that the Big 10 has the national title game, or is that just a prediction at this point?

I predict that Mike Defee gets the Peach Bowl and either Riley Johnson, Jerry Magallenes, or Jeff Flanagan gets the Fiesta Bowl. Also, curious question: If the SEC gets left out of the playoff one year, would John McDaid be eligible for the NC? Wondering because he worked the 2010 NC, but that was when he was with the old Big East. I think that he would not be eligible (no official since Steve Shaw has worked 2 NC games) but want to confirm.

Officials have worked the national championship at a black hat position and then white hatted another game.
I am not aware of a set policy that forbids officials from white hatting (or black hatting) multiple national championship games.
I think that since the game assignment is dependent on the participants in the game and on a quasi-conference rotation, one assignment is about all an official can expect. The chances for an official to be #1 at his position one year and then #1 a random 4 - 8 years later are pretty slim.

I’m talking about refereeing (White hatting) not refs who were previously other positions. 2.Genuinely curious- do you think that Mike Cannon got assigned the NC because he was the best referee this year, or because he was the best ref who Hasn’t worked a NC? Do you think Terry Leyden was graded higher than Land Clark in 2015, or do you think he got the assignment because Clark already worked a NC? In my opinion, John O neill and Dan Capron are both better than Cannon, but already worked NC games. Cannon is the 3rd best ref in my opinion, so that’s why he got selected.

You usually won’t see repeat assignments. As soon as an SEC team doesn’t make the top 4, the SEC will work the National Championship. The ACC will work it as well if they don’t have a team in the top 4.

Why don't you go ask a coordinator what his policy is? Also the margins are razor thin at that level. What separates O'Neill, Capron, and Cannon is minimal, if anything. Cannon worked the biggest regular season game in the conference this year. Is it possible that he got the "tiebreaker" over the other two due to not being R in a NCG previously? Certainly plausible, but no one here is going to be able to tell you how Bill Carollo made the decision.

I thought the sarcasm was obvious in context. My point was that no one on this message board is going to be able to tell our hyper-curious poster how coordinators decide who gets which of his conference's bowl games.

Pinstripe Bowl - Ken Williamson
Also hearing it’s Matt Austin’s crew in the Rose Bowl, not John McDaid.
