If he doesn't get it, that would be my first guess as to why. I'm hoping they don't use that against him though.
It seems as though the Super Bowl officials typically come from this past weekend's divisional round.
Bill Vinovich had the Falcons-Eagles game, and he's usually held in high regard for his work. There were a few calls, a couple of which were corrected by replay, but the game generally was pretty good from what I remember.
Ron Torbert had the Patriots-Titans game and that game was destroyed in the first half by two incorrect penalties.
Brad Allen doesn't have the required five years in.
Gene Steratore had Vikings-Saints. There was one questionable DPI call from what I remember, but that's it. I think the biggest officiating question people had after the game was "they really had to kick the extra point? Why?"
This could very well be his year. Maybe they had him do Vikings-Saints to get acclimated to the stadium?
