Pro Bowl referees not best by position?

The Officiating crew that graded the best for this season will be calling the game. In effect, this is THEIR Super Bowl. In the actual Super Bowl, the crew will be made up of the best Referee, the best Back Judge, etc. This sounds backwards to me. The most important game played - as well as the amount of money bet on it - would seem to have the best TEAM of officials to go with the "2 best teams". What am I missing.

    Why do they even need referees anymore? Every damn play is reviewed by instant DElay.

    As far as the Pro Bowl is concerned, they could pick the refs that graded out worst in the regular season. The Pro Bowl is a joke of a game, no one cares about it and they could have three blind mice reffing the game and no one would notice or complain about it.

    the pro bowl is just a show case and an al star in which very little care or very little is bet on it

    BUT the SUPER BOWL next week is the one that really counts

    and which the best officials will be in charge

    I guess the refs will need to judge the more important game.

    I agree I think it should be the best team not the best individuals.
