Honestly, with wins and losses being so huge in college football, they either need to take a more traditional approach to OT like the NFL, or just have ties in the regular season
College OT is far too gimmicky for something that matters so much

If player gets a 2nd targeting call during the season, he will be suspended for next full game on top of the game he was kicked out of for the hit.

All you're trying to do in over time is determine a winner, and honestly, regular season games don't even need that
If we must have overtime, just play sudden death and give the ball to the team who lost the opening coin toss. That way, you know who gets the ball to start the “third” half and can strategize appropriately at the end of regulation.

Ok, troll.
As the rule is written today, you're correct. The way it should be, is just how I stated. If the player intends to lead with his helmet and makes forcible contact to the head/neck area of the other player, he should absolutely be removed from the game for a, let's call it, Targeting 1. If there's a play where there's no intent and the helmets happen to collide, you don't kick the players out of the game, but the foul is still called.

Calm down. This isn’t meltworthy.
If helmets don’t exist, head-to-head contact can knock you both out of the game, intentional or not. That’s the logic. You’re ejected from the game for using your head to hit another player. You can’t do it.
Ok, fine. Melt over it.

Intent matters in this case. Did you see Devin White hit Fitzgerald last season? Was that worthy of disqualification?
Terrible Targeting Calls and Ejections
Watch the above video and tell me how many of those hits absolutely qualified for targeting, specifically the Nebraska/UCLA hit.

You can’t hit his head with your head, guys. That isn’t football.

Through the 2016 season, there had been 1293 overtime games played since OT was introduced to college football in the 1995 season (22 seasons). So, on average, 59 overtime games are played every season. LSU, specifically, has had 47 ties and has played in 15 OT games, so in the 126 years of LSU football, we have had 62 games end regulation in a tie, so basically once every 2 years. With those numbers, I wouldn't call ties in regulation particularly rare.

They need to go the NBA route and have a Targeting-1 and Targeting-2. 1 being accidental targeting (ie. WR ducking at the last second, causing DB to make contact with helmet area) and 2 being the blatant ones. Make them both 15 yard penalties, but only the confirmed blatant targeting-2 carrying an ejection/suspension.

He did the thing that the rule prohibits. Nobody’s fricking with anybody. You have to find a way to not hit with your helmet or you can’t play.

Barely, but yes. The enforcement of the ejection rule is dumb and is in question by everyone in this thread.

I like the idea of moving the starting point back every OT.
OT - 25
OT2 - 35
OT3 - 45
Etc

So you have no issues with it, whatsoever?
Posted on 3/1/19 at 4:21 pm to Spelt it rong
No. It’s never been appropriate to hit that way. You wouldn’t hit that way if you didn’t wear a helmet, so you can’t hit that way.

seems like a pretty high number to me
7 games out of what... 800 total FBS games is a lot?
