OT should be gotten rid of, the iron bowl outcome is it. Alabama doesn't deserve that W in the win column.

And no I don't want to get rid of OT.

 

[patdog]

Just go to the NFL overtime rules. College OT sucks.

I always thought the college rules were really good , till this year. Two point conversions is BS. The coin toss matters too much in the pros, even under the current rules.

I mean, AU RB just had to fall down and it was over. Give AL credit for taking advantage. The overtime rules are trash but AL was winning once they tied it up.

Do you have to post in every thread? You are literally worse than Peaches.

They just changed it this year.
I kinda like the 2 point try but maybe make it after the 3rd regular OT rules instead of 2.
I’m also ok with the new NFL rules to see how that may work in college?!?!

 

[paindonthurt]

What?

NFL overtime is way worse.

Just start from the 25 and go for 2 from the start.

Level playing field and won’t last long.

Well, what you could do, is when you see my handle, just skip over that post. This is entertaining to me, including the blasts y'all aim in my direction. I went to professional school with a bunch of folks from many schools, and a BUNCH of Rebels. We did stuff like this IN PERSON FACE TO FACE all the time. It's how we stayed sane facing what was at times mind numbing academic pressure. It was a release. It was good for all of us. That's how I view this place. I'm still good friends with all those dudes back then. The key is not to take it personally. That's why I don't really care what y'all say about me. I don't take it personally, even if it is intended to be so. Whatever I say here should never be taken personally, even if it sounds like it is. It's not intended to be.

What about just calling it a tie?**

I’m just a dumb country boy (with a BS in ME from the Bagley School of Engineering), so forgive me, but WTF is “professional school”? Is that like Diesel Mechanic school, University of Phoenix, Grad School, or something completely different. I’m being serious. No sarcastricks.

 

[patdog]

Why play one set of rules for 60 minutes and then a completely different set of rules for overtime? Makes no sense at all. You virtually eliminate all special teams except the FG unit.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

New OT rules are dumb. Two point conversion. That’s sometimes more about luck than being better.

Need to go back to the way it was before

 

[BigDawg0074]

Yet you take MSU losing to Ole Miss personally. Makes sense…

 

[WrapItDog]

I had no problem with the old overtime rules. So what if we have a 7 or 8 overtime game once every 5 years or so

 

[wsjmsu75]

So just like now except no kicking extra points? I agree, and I would go with that up to 4 OT's, then start the 2 point conversion tie breaker if still tied after 4 OT's.

 

[msstatelp1]

Go back to the former rules but move the starting point back 10 yards for each OT.

professional school with a bunch of rebels? beautician school. no question.

It's what you call a medical/legal/other type post grad school when you don't want to be more specific. I have a BS from MSU, and something else beyond that.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

The best way to solve it in this game woulda been to have the rules applied evenly and the game would have been decided in regulation

 

[paindonthurt]

If you wanna just add a full fifth quarter for overtime I’m good with that. But you shouldn’t be seriously handicapped for losing a coin toss.

 

[Drebin]

And no I don't want to get rid of OT.

Alabama went 98 yards in less than a minute and a half to send it to OT. Pretty obvious that they earned that win.

"Professional school." You're full of ****.

 

[patdog]

I'd really rather just keep playing from the end of the 4th quarter. Make the OT period change no different than the change from the 3rd to the 4th quarter. But with the rule that a FG can't win on the 1st possession, you go a long way to even up the coin toss advantage. I also like that the game has a definite end. If it's tied after the OT period, it's a tie.

Another option would be the team that wins the coin toss chooses the yard line for the kickoff. The other team chooses to kick or receive. They’d quickly figure out the yard line where kick vs receive is equal.

I am, but not on that.

You got me, I was Rosebowl's primary source. You are welcome! LOL!
