College football OT is dumb as hell.

College OT is how all football should do OT. Only change I would make is back it up to the 35.

Move it back to the 50 and I agree with you

Thank you.

I'm probably good with the 35 or 40.

I'd have to do some serious research on it though. I always want the better team to win, and these multiple OT games obviously aren't the answer.

Maybe you get it at the 40 and you have 6 downs to score? Or something of that nature. No 1st downs or anything like that. I dunno, just hem-hawing.

Something different than what it is currently. I'm not saying it should be like the NFL but the whole starting at the 25 is just pretty ridiculous IMO.

the problem with the college game ot is it changes the game, a shorter field, no kickoff, no punts.

Agree.

Gotta make a 1st down or 2 to get into FG range at least.

We've seen enough of these 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8OT games to realize it isn't the way to find a winner.

I don't want it to be a FG contest either.

Why? Because about once a year we get a game that goes into multiple overtimes and everyone has a great time watching it? Most of the time the game is resolved in the first or second overtime. What’s broken here?

When a team can win a game without gaining a single yard then something is wrong lol

FG's are not automatic. Putting the teams in scoring range ends the games quicker.

They'll never change that part.

They can, but how many times have you seen that happen? If your team is comfortable just trotting out and going straight for about a 42 yard field goal, you must have one of the best kickers in college football.

Kicking a FG is not automatic, and you have to play defense on the other side of the ball.

I'm not comfortable with Alabama doing that from the 1.

 

[TheDayMan]

This is just like the playoff argument. People just make up things that could happen so they have something to complain about.

Can't disagree. I'll really need to think on this one.

The current system doesn't work. It simply doesn't. Gotta find something better.

I just haven't really thought about it enough to form a solid opinion. Up front, there are a huge amount of troubling questions whichever way you want to go.

I know your pain way too well.

 

[GoldRusher]

F*ck the NFL, their OT sucks donkey balls.
College OT is 1000000% better

How does it not work?

That wasn't the point. My point is a team can for example throw 3 incomplete passes and still be in fg range on 4th down. You should be required to get at least 1 first down to get into fg range IMO.

Texas A&M 74, LSU 72. Enough said. Do it like the NFL does. Damn.

NFL OT isn't perfect but it is better than CFB.

Back to the NFL boards you heathens

 

[desert heat]

shouldn't the rules in ot be pretty much the same as the rules during regulation?
