NCAA Football Rules Committee Recommends Changes to OT for 2021 Season

College football's overtime rules could get a slight tweak for the 2021 season.

Per NCAA.com, the NCAA Football Rules Committee has recommended a change to the overtime system that would require teams to go for a two-point conversion when a game reaches the second overtime.

Additionally, if a game reaches the third overtime, teams would run alternate two-point conversions until there is a winner.

The current rule gives teams possession of the ball at the opponent's 25-yard line to start each overtime period, and they are required to go for a two-point conversion after every touchdown starting with the third overtime.
