Yeah I knew you had to go for 2 after the second overtime, but it's just 2 point plays?

Yeah. This is stupid. How does this shorten OT games?

 

[JSOrange97]

I was wondering what on earth was going on.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Any time PSU loses is fine by me!

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Hate it. Makes no sense. No way this goes to "9" OTs the old way. Also takes FGs out of play.

 

[Orangello]

A Ped State loss is always a great thing no matter how it happens

 

[NineOneSeven]

Okay yeah what is the rule again?

 

[TampaLaker]

And the best part... 20-18 Illinois!!

 

[NineOneSeven]

Saw that and was like uhhh 9?!

College football overtime rules 2022: Explaining how the new OT format works | Sporting News

www.sportingnews.com

The NCAA amended its overtime rules in 2021 in an attempt to lessen the number of plays run in an overtime period. Teams are now required to run a two-point conversion after a touchdown beginning in the second overtime period. Previously, that began in the third overtime period.

Additionally, teams will begin running alternating two-point conversion attempts if the game reaches a third overtime. So, it's essentially a one-play drive. The goal of this is to limit the number of plays run from scrimmage by each team.

Ahhhhh, boy it’s nice to taste some Penn State tears

 

[CuseCactus]

hahahahahah. sadness at Ped St.

Each team got to touch the ball. Not ideal but already ahead of the NFL system

 

[SWC75]

It's like a soccer shoot out. I prefer the college OT to the NFL but don't like this concept.

 

[ThundrTroll]

I like it better than the old way. Stats and final score do not get inflated, which is better for gambling. Makes the time fly once you hit the third overtime.

It’s the American football version of penalty kicks in soccer.

College football loves to overreact.

If it gets to 4th OT, just flip a coin.

Defense is part of the game

Arm wrestle!

 

[djorange1989]

It’s a dumb rule. Unless Penn State loses

 

[4evaOrange]

Should pick one player from both sides and thrown them in an arena and let the fight hunger games style.
