I think the current NFL is pretty good.

Overtime should determine a winner. If it doesn’t, why bother?

OT should never end in a tie

sudden death was the bets method. it was exciting and simple. but they cant potentially sell an extra hour of ads so I guess whatever they have now makes more sense.

College OT rules, but I dislike how quickly the 2 point conversion shite kicks it.

Extremely long OT games were not an issue. They let 1 or 2 extreme outlier games mess up the entire system.

I like college but wish they didn't start in field goal range. The 45 would be good. Teams would also have to put together a bit of a drive for a TD.

NCAA rules but move the ball back to the 40.

but begin from the 40.

40 is too close. Gain 5 yards and most decent college kickers have a good shot of making a 52 yarder.

From the 45 or midfield you'd have to pick up a 1st down.

Speak for yourself. Alabama has traditionally terrible kickers.

But, I'm game for starting from midfield.
But, I still would like to gradually bring it closer as more OTs occur in a single game.
