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.
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

National Champs baby!!!!!!
Tie it up...
And then run out the clock.
At least Tom Osborne went for the win when he would have easily won the MNC if he had tied Miami as the #1 ranked team.
Teams in higher ranked positions usually played it safe...because ties did not hurt them. They could play for a tie and not lose poll ground but their opponent could not play for a tie.
It really rewarded teams higher ranked. A tie was no harm, no foul. It didn't gain them ground, but they never lost ground. Have a bad day? Tie. Still stay #1.
