What is your definition of a college official?

If you did work varsity games, you might get the opportunity to work with officials that have that experience and see the difference between different levels of officials.

I would not at all say they are automatically better, but I would say by officials that work some college have been through a little more training than the average HS official. I do not know what any of this has to do with why people can work a HS playoff game or not?
