re: What Happened To Ties in College Football?

I get that if don't make it so that you can't have one, you will have ties. But I like the way that your philosophy becomes more aggressive if you don't have an OT. Unless you're Pat Dye, of course.
I can't freaking stand 4-5 OT games. Just end the damn thing. It just goes on and on and on.
And if you know you have OT in your back pocket, you are rewarded for being conservative. For example, it's 20-17, there's 4 seconds left, and you're on their 5 yard line. If you have an OT rule, you just wimp out and kick the FG. I'd rather see a team just play it out right there and win or lose.

The longest OT game has been 7 OTs.

There are more than a handful of coaches who would take the FG and the tie in that scenario.

You must not know much about how college football was. There were teams that used to played for the tie and kicked a FG in that situation
