Also, if there's a short run (which there are many of) think of how quickly the ball can be spotted. The chains don't have to move, and if the run's to the middle of the field, the ball can be given to the ref right away, who can immediately put it down, make sure the down marker's set, the refs are in position, and blow the whistle. It would take 10 seconds max, probably more like 8.

That's false. It stops, just restarts when the ball is ready for play, instead of the snap (like what happens after a first down).
Are you nuts, Buckeye? Read what you are saying. It stops, just restarts when the ball is ready for play. Doesn't that mean it doesn't stop?
What this rule does it gives all the advantage to the offense since they can dictate whether or not to run clock or snap the ball quickly.
If college is not going to install the 2 minute warning rule I can see alot of strategy coming into play with about 2 1/2 minutes remaining in either half of a game considering a team could throw an out pattern now with the new rule. Make the catch going out of bounds and have the ball spotted with say at the 2:10 mark forcing the defense to burn a timeout. This is unlike the NFL which gets the benefit of the 2 minute warning.

No, because it does stop, right when he goes out. It just starts after the referee puts the ball down on the line of scrimmage and blows the whistle saying the ball is now ready for play, when before it started after the snap.
Do you know what happens on first downs (in college, not the NFL)? It's exactly like that.
