Start enforcing the push off for receivers. Saw it so many times today. DBacks are already so restricted they need to start calling the push off more often.
Rule changes
- Thread starter hoosman
- Start date
Same thing w/ any review in all sports ... actual time-limit can be debated, but establish an "average duration" needed and set that as a standard. Same thing w/ CBB and reviewing clock or possession calls.
Roughing the punter - If a punter takes off (rugby style) he's fair game even if he's in the punting motion. keep roughing the punter on traditional drop back punting.
Defensive pass interference in the end zone = touchdown. Offensive pass interference in the end zone = turnover
Only rule change I want is don't allow OL to be 3 yards down the field, change it to the NFL rule where you can only be 1 yard down the field or it's an ineligible man downfield. Right now it's way too hard to officiate and is hardly enforced correctly, plus it would be good for the game of football, IMO.
I would enjoy the college game a bit more if fewer plays were reviewed automatically. Slows down the game.
I don't have an outright answer to this problem, but no game should last 4 hours or more. Some have lasted a ridiculous 4 1/2 hours. TV timeouts are too long for one thing, but I doubt if there's any incentive to change that sort of thing...
I think the only real answer to video replay is to allow a computer to do it.
Second best alternative is to get rid of "indisputable" and instead go with "reasonable", preferably with a 6 person replay crew voting and it takes 4 votes to overturn the ruling on the field.

1. Agree in theory, but putting it into practice would be a monstrous task .
2. Interesting
3. Meh. This would lead to reviewing calls like holding and PI. Not sure I want replay expanded this way as they can't even get **** right under the current system.
4. Huh? If the encroachment is due to a false start. It's a false start. Not sure what you're getting at.
5. Meh.
6. I'd rather they just went back to the old rule that the ball can't be fumbled forward and the ball just went back to the spot of the fumble.
7. No opinion
8. Pretty sure you can already do this.
I'd like to see them move the extra point back a little bit. Maybe not as far as NFL but maybe to the 10 or so.
I've always said this. If you can't decide after seeing what the viewers see right after the play, then, by definition, it's not indisputable.
I believe it is a penalty, but only saw it called once this year in all the college football I watched. Could of been called 20 times.

Not that often do you actually see a ball carrier grab and pull a defender's face mask though, more often just a stiff arm into the face mask which is legal for both.
They need to revise the targeting rule, similar to how facemask penalty is treated with 15 and 5 yarders. In some cases where the defender is clearly and intentionally targeting defenseless player above the shoulders it needs to be 15 yards and ejection. There are plenty of other times though where the only reason contact above the shoulders occurs is because of a last second movement by the offensive player and the defender has no way of avoiding it. Heard a broadcaster during one of the bowl games where this happened bring up that there should be tiers/levels of targeting offenses and I'd agree.
Regarding #6,
If a ball is fumbled through the endzone, the ball should be returned to the offense at the spot of the fumble or the 1 yard line, whichever is farther.
The idea that a fumble into the endzone should be an automatic turnover is the stupidest rule in football.

I'd like to see this applied to basketball. I get sick of coaches working the refs all game long. Bill Self is among the worst.
Couldnt agree more. Would love to see refs be more willing to throw the T when a coach gets on them.
The fact that coaches not only are allowed to 'work' refs but that it generally seems to work really ruins a lot of games. Bill Self and Bob Huggins are both big examples.
