Re: Dumbest rule in football.
I absolutely HATE College OT. I remember watching Arkansas beat Mississippi (And Kid Eli) in 7 OTs, and as exciting as it was, it was way too damn long. The game was 17-17 going into OT, and the final score was 58-56! Any decent team can score from the 25. Want to make it better? Have the teams start from their own 40. That way, they have to work to even get 3. You can run 3 unsuccessful plays from the defensive 25, and put points on the board...to me, starting on the 25 is kinda like getting the ball handed to you via coinflip.
I'm glad they don't have ties anymore, but I prefer the Pro OT system. Granted, it's unfair if the other team doesn't get a chance, but life is unfair. If your special teams cannot stop the returner on the kickoff, do you really deserve to win? Your defense should be pumped enough to make crucial stops in OT to get their offense the ball.
as far as stats are concerned, the QB benefits from a piss poor defense that cannot stop a screen pass.
Illegal contact vs. Pass Interference. Not quite sure the exact wording, but have to believe that it has to do with the type of play. Illegal contact may not impede a receiver making the catch, whereas Pass Interference does...
