College football rules changes you actually would like to see implemented

I'll go ahead and disagree with this one. The offensive players supposedly have an advantage in knowing what the snap count should be, I think defensive players should have every opportunity to mess up the offense short of crossing the actual LOS.

Agree with pretty much everything else ITT, and while it's granted that defensive PI as a spot foul gives college refs a lot of discretion, it basically incentivizes PI on long balls if it's from LOS.

I am most specifically talking about precisely those plays where a defensive lineman shoots a gap, is across the line of scrimmage by perhaps a yard or two but does not make contact with an offensive player, and then makes it back across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. As the rules now stand, there is no foul but there most certainly should be one.

I've always hated "ineligible receiver down feild". I think linemen should be able to block as far down the feild as the play dictates. Defense should know he can't catch it. If they send a man out to cover him and another player is open it's on them for not paying attention.

Yea setting up screens 15 yards downfield would be easy to defend.

The rule is in place because after a certain point, on a pass play, blocking down field essentially becomes pass interference.

If I remember correctly you can block down field if the pass is behind the line scrimmage ie a screen.

OT rule change. Winner of the toss chooses to either take four free points or get the ball on their opponents 25. One possession to decide the game, defense wins by four or the offense wins with a td.

Eliminate the PAT. TD are worth 7. You must gamble 1 point if you want to attempt the try. Make it and you get your point back plus a bonus for 8. But miss it and you lose one point so back to 6. You can decline the attempt and stay at 7.

That is ridiculously complicated.

I would be for moving the ball back to the 35 to make the FG try a little harder if no yards were gained.

I wish they'd reinstate offensive pass interference into the rule book.

No way.

If you think defenses are on their heels now, do something like that where 7 guys are going down the field and the defense doesn't know who's eligible and who's not.

I get that. They shouldn't necessarily be blocking until the catch is made. It just annoys me when a lineman pancakes his man then goes a yard or two past the ineligible point and a flag is thrown even if the pass wasn't on his side of the feild.

And let's be honest, OCs aren't going to be sending their OL downfield for big pass plays leaving their QB unprotected or an undersized RB to pick up the the DT left unblocked.

I would like to do away with...

- Quarters (two 30 min halves instead)
- Set plays
- Plays are only over when the ball is in the endzone
- No more out of bounds (via 20ft cyclone fences on the entire perimeter of the field)
- Penalties
- Helmets and pads

Man, that would be violent.

I would like a Marine sniper placed on the top of every press box, and each time a receiver makes the "throw the penalty" gesture on an incomplete pass, he should be removed from competition - permanently.

If you want to expand said sniper's duties to include defensive linemen who "King Kong" or "Superman" following a sack when down three or more touchdowns, I am open for discussion.

Seriously, I really wouldn't mind some kind of "gross misconduct" personal foul that also included the player being suspended from play for so many game minutes. Something like hockey except you could substitute for the player in the box.

I am so freaking sick of all the punk stuff. Players don't seem to give a crap about costing their team 15 yards. Maybe if they had to sit and watch the guy behind them play, they'd think twice.

I only feel that way when a wr throws his hands up at the qb like "wtf?".

Actually it's not that violent. It's called rugby, and it's boring.
