Bob Stoops has suggested on that the overtime rule should be changed - teams should get the ball on the 40 or 45 and have to earn FG range.

I like that idea.

My change...NO Overtime in the Regular Season...NFL Style Modified Sudden Death in the Conference Title Game/Bowls/CFP...

I like Stoop's idea after the 2nd OT. Then move the ball back to the 50.

or another idea is If its still tied after 2 OT's, then just go to alternating 2pt conversion attempts.

Place the ball at the 3 yard line and each team gets 1 chance each to score a 2pt conversion, rotating until the tie is broken.

whew... for a second I was afraid we were going to hear about some lunacy that when a P5/G5 matchup goes into overtime the P5 team would get the ball 1st and goal on the 10, while the G% school the ball on the 15 and it is automatically 4th and goal.

That is basically how everything else is being going of late.

No way. Ties sucked when we had no overtime, and they would suck even more with a potential playoff spot on the line.

I like the idea Stoops presented, but I think I like the part about putting the ball on the 50 that goofus presented even better.

(I like Stoops idea.)

Okay- When does the shoot out come in? Let's say that after the second overtime, both teams designate 5 players and they kick field goals. You know, like soccer.

The problem with having starting out of field goal range is that it would likely make the game even longer. I like the college overtime rules as they are. It makes overtime play very dramatic, with every coaching decision being consequential.

Just lining up for endless 2-pt conversions isn't that interesting, but it would end the games quicker, I think.

I'd be ok if a game was still tied after x ot's, it is a tie. It would have to be an even number, so both teams got the advantage of playing defense 1st in a OT. I'd say 2 OT. We wouldn't have but a few ties as you would find in that 2nd OT a TD scoring team would go for the win a lot....

Well, only after "guess a number between 1 and 10".

Add pressure in the Regular Season..you are down by a TD and you score in the last minute...do you kick the extra point to tie or go for the win...

Yeah, in the abstract I like the idea of having to gain enough yardage to earn a shot at a make-able FG attempt, but we can easily imagine a long string of missed 50-plus yard FG attempts in OT under that rule.

hate.

that.

idea.

always hated sudden death OT. seems like the winner of the coin flip wins most of the time. stoops is on to something about starting at the 45, IMO.

Modified Overtime in the NFL is if you score a defensive score-(Defensive TD/Safety) or if you receive the ball you score a TD...If you just kick a FG the other team get the ball via kickoff...if they tie with a FG then it goes to sudden death...the College OT pretty much takes out Special Teams-(no Punting or Kickoffs)....actually in the old Sudden Death NFL OT it was 50/50...

College offenses move the ball too easily for that to be much of an issue.

How about it starts on the 45 in the 1st OT, 40 in the 2nd OT, 35 in the 3rd OT, etc.

If we're going to tinker with the OT rules, the goal is to make more games end earlier and not drag out to multiple OTs.

So I'd give each team the ball at the opponent's 15 yard line to start OT, 1st and goal, only 4 downs to score or lose possession -- so that you can't make a 1st down by gaining 10 yards in OT. Think of the pressure if your team has the first OT possession and you have 4th down from the 8 yard line. The FG attempt is a higher-percentage play than trying to score a TD on that play, but if you only score 3 you're handing the other team a golden opportunity to win the game.

clearly overtime winners should be awarded by alphabetical order of conference (i.e. AAC, ACC, Big Ten, Big XII, etc.). The team who's conference comes first alphabetically is awarded the win.

This is probably the first time I've heard anybody complain about the current OT rules. I think this is a solution crying out for a problem.
