I've read before they actually do look at match ups and "fit" for the crew, but don't know what that means exactly.... like if they prefer guys who have reffed the teams recently or whatever.
Some people wouldn't ever be happy about it... if they did it beforehand, they would just say they set it up for an easy path for whichever team made it through. Or, oh they knew the Ravens had honefield throughout and assigned refs that favored that, or whatever.
There are no bounds to the fan fiction people can make up and the fcts they're willing to ignore.
