Officiating crews revealed for New Year's Six bowls
The officiating crews for the New Year’s Six bowl games have been revealed, according to Action Network’s Brett McMurphy. The College Football Playoff Championship will be called by an ACC crew.
For the two other CFP semifinal games, the Peach Bowl featuring Georgia and Ohio State will be officiating by a Pac-12 crew, while the Fiesta Bowl between Michigan and TCU will have SEC referees. Below is the full list of officiating crews for New Year’s Six bowl games.
Interestingly enough, the Big Ten and SEC are the only two conferences who will have crews in more than one New Year’s Six bowl game. In addition to the Fiesta Bowl, SEC officials will also call the Cotton Bowl. Big Ten officials will oversee both the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl.
The Orange Bowl will be the first of the New Year’s Six bowls to kick off, as it is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. ET on Dec. 30. After that, the College Football semifinal games will take place the next day on New Year’s Eve.
