College football overtime is just like baseball.

There is no clock (except for the play clock). Each team gets the ball in pairs of possessions (innings). There are no ties. It goes on until there is a winner.

I like it!

I prefer a team to win it before regulation. It can go on forever but feels like a different game starting at the 25 or wherever. Like to see a team navigate down the field, not get it in FG range right off the bat.

I especially hated being in overtime on NCAA Football 14 for similar reasons, especially when I couldn't slow down the offense (these overtimes would take forever).
