| Personally I'm more of the opinion of you had 60 minutes to win the game in regulation, you can't complain about how/why you lost in overtime - no matter how controversial you feel it is - because it's your own fault for not putting them away in regulation | |

| It seems like the owners are unable to admit the college way is flat better, and are trying to stick to some variation of what they already have.

Also my biggest problem with college OT is that they start from the 25. At least make them kickoff or something. | |

| I've yet to find anything that explains what happens if the first team on offense doesn't score. I'm guessing that the other team can win with a FG, and if neither team scores, it reverts to sudden death.
There is still a sizable advantage to winning the coin toss and taking the ball. The winning team will always have had one more possession than the losing team, unless the winner lost the coin toss. | |

| either way i think if they are changing the rules for the playoffs, than it needs to be standard during the regular season as well. | |

| Definitely. College football put OT in for the bowls before it did for the season, but the difference was that the bowls don't really mean anything, compared to the NFL playoffs. If you're not playing for the NC, then you're essentially in a corporate-run exhibition game. I enjoy the bowls, because I enjoy college football. OK, I just hijacked this into a playoff debate. | |

Don't get me wrong, I think the college system has its flaws as well, but at least the winner is decided on the field in the college overtime system.
Although Golic on ESPN said something I agree with...
"Why not just play another quarter of football? That seems like the best way"
Personally, I think that the games should just end in a tie in the regular season. No overtime. | |

| Sounds like a winner to me, I hope they use it in the regular season.
OT in the college game isn't fair, i'd like to see them implement the same rule. | |

| Remember Eric Berry against Kensucky in 07? He damn near got his head ripped off for making an awesome defensive play, but the Vols offense didn't get one benefit from that. | |

This rule is not much better. It may keep teams from taking an easy field goal but it still gives the winner of a coin toss a far greater opportunity to win the game than the other team. The college way is vastly superior. If anything, just start the ball at the 50 or something.
