BTTB, there's no such thing as PAC-10 officials. The officials who work the PAC-10 are the same officials who officiate in the WAC, the Big Sky, and the MWC. It's very unusual for an official to only work in one conference. Most work several different conferences. I have a friend who may be working an ACC game tonight, a Big East game tomorrow night, an Atlantic Sun game on Saturday and an SEC game on Sunday. These guys are all over the place.
As for your concerns and that of the other fans that you've spoken to, the complaints are no different than what fans in the rest of the country say. ACC fans think the game is called to closely. Big Ten fans think the games is called too loosely. Fans have misconceptions about the rules and think this should be called, that shouldn't be called or don't understand what was called.
To my knowledge, there is no inner circle of officiating that feels the officials who work PAC-10 games have a bad reputation. They are just as qualified to work D1 games as any other D1 officials. If there were a problem, it would already have been addressed by those who "know better." It's not anything that the fans should have any input in.
Probably not the answer you wanted but asked for straightforward responses.
