College Football Now Stands Alone As Having the Greatest Overtime Rules on Planet Earth

I was in the stands, chortling with glee, as Ohio State and the North Carolina State Wolfpack went into overtime in 2003.

Not necessarily because I was happy about the fact that it had to happen. Philip Rivers and the Wolfpack were all but dead and gone with nine minutes left in the 4th quarter in Columbus, trailing 24-7. But then Rivers, reminded of all the money he'd go on to make in the NFL, decided to Play Good and led NC State to 17 unanswered points and forced the Buckeyes to play in the first ever overtime game in Ohio Stadium's history.
