Do officiating crews watch video from their games the week before and critique?
Do they actually understand what calls they missed and how blatant they were at times?
Are there any fines for missed calls?
Yes.
Yes.
Likely not unless there are errors so grevious that suspension is necessary. The case of the Miami/Duke ending comes to mind. The Oregon / Oklahoma game in 2006 I believe was very similar. Both resulted in the suspension of officials.
The Oklahoma versus Oregon game doesn't get talked about very much but it was one of the most egregious officiating errors. Oregon kicked an onside kick, Oklahoma recovered.
Somehow, the ball was awarded to Oregon on the field. Not only that, replays showed that Oregon actually touched the ball before it crossed 10 yards so even if they had recovered they would have had to kick again.
Somehow, the replay officials also gave Oregon the ball. Nothing about that made any sense. The replay official was suspended.
