NCAA to propose changing CFB OT rules. On 2nd OT teams will be required to go for 2 pt conversion. If there is a 3rd OT, teams will no longer start at 25 yard line, but have to attempt a 2 point conversion.
At this point I'm not sure where I stand on this change, not that the NCAA cares about my opinion..

More much ado about nothing. Rarely do games go more than 2 OTs. Whenever there are multiple OTs, it makes news and then everyone loses the exact rates of comparison because of the one overblown game. Arguably, you could tweak it to eliminate all OT extra point kicks but the data doesn't show it's out of control.
There were 21 Games that went to OT in 2021. Half ended after one OT and only two were more than 2 OTs (none were 5 OTs or more). There were 33 total OTs in these games for a 1.57 OT average when OT is used.
