I like the college football overtime format and I think it's one of the most


It's football without field position battle. I think NFL overtime is much more in keeping with the game.

CFB OT is like soccer penalty kicks without the extra period. It cheapens the game eliminating field position from the strategy. It strictly becomes a tactical game without strategorie to quote a president.

I don't know how you can say this.

CFB OT is much better than the NFL's, and absolutely nothing like PKs.

They improved it by requiring a TD the first possession to win it, but you're still at the mercy of a coin toss, which can blow if you've played a great game but don't even get the ball if you lose the toss. CFB at least guarantees each side a try.

There's nothing more boring than another 15 period of no scoring. You had 60 minutes to do it within the "spirit of the game". Time to try something else.
