I have noticed in the bowl games that at times a made FG will only be signaled either by F or the S, is this a proper mechanic for NCAA?
Although I have noticed that the one who does signal is the one that the ball is nearest.

In Canadian college (at least in Ontario) we only have one official signal. While it does not look as symmetrical, it makes sense since only one official is actually making the call. We do not like to mirror signals.

The two officials under the pipes are the Back Umpire and Back Judge.
The BU is responsible for determining who of the two shall blow his whistle and signal the good, or hold the whistle and signal the not good. He does so by verbalizing to the BJ something that will not confuse the defender that is in the EZ. Remember that our uprights are on the GL. The other official goes back to the dead line if the FGA is wide, or moves up if the FGA is short; and in both cases has the primary responsibility for a restraining zone foul. Also know that a missed FG is treated as a punt - a rouge can be scored (1 point) or a return kick is sometimes made. wwcfoa43 is right - we do not like to mirror signals, just as it is not good practice to mirror flag throwing.
