Hate the college football version of PK's

Calling that an 8 OT game last night is comical when you think of real OTs in the NHL playoffs.

College OT is a gimmick and one that takes way too long. Teams shouldn’t get a new time out for every set of new plays either.

I know many probably found that exciting last night, I didn’t and never have since the switch.
 
I thought last night was good but could go for the start at the 35 yard line too which makes the luck of winning the toss less critical

GaTech had their shots and either the holding non call or the targeting not even looked at were tough to watch


but I will add OT, not sure how much Duzz haters criticize his sideline emotion and antics but there's many great coaches as bad or worse and one was on display last night...... calling all those excessive OT time outs
 
I'm okay with starting from the 25. But just keep doing that. The 2-point conversion content is silly.

While we're at it, college basketball OT should be three minutes, not five.

Worse than that he was 5 yards on the field yelling defensive instructions while GT ran several plays. I kept thinking why are they letting him do that.

At least twice in OT he was still on the field while GT was running their play.

The coaches are supposed to be in-between the 25 yard lines as well. He clearly violated that numerous times and was coaching from the 15 yd line and well onto the field. Just another example of bad officiating last night.

Second OT...flip the coin again...if first team scores a td they are awarded 7 points and they get the normal 3 for a field goal....second team to get the ball in OT must beat them, ie go for two after their own td or score a td after first team's field goal...simple and clean and over quickly......or hell, just make that the rule from the git go in the first OT...

I'm not even sure why they switched it. Starting at the 25 was fine. Were games really taking too long? I think if they started at the 35, you'd limit the amount of OT's because you'd have more missed FG attempts. Anything but the dueling 2 point tries.

The A&M 74-72 win over LSU prompted a change to reduce the length of games.
