I don't think it is "standard policy throughout college football" to have officials from the home team's conference officiate non-conference games. If I recall correctly, for example, an SEC crew worked the Alabama/Oklahoma game in Norman one year followed by a Big XII crew that worked the Oklahoma/Alabama game in Tuscaloosa. Perhaps this policy, and not the one you stated as a matter of fact, is more widespread? If so, is it possible the Pac 10 policy is non-standard? The replay review of the onside kick at the end of that game in Eugene was egregious and inexplicable, and Oregon's "victory" leaves a sick hole inside many Oklahoma football fans. We'll get over it. But don't patronize us.
