The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has approved a change that will aim to shorten the length of games that go into overtime.
Everything remains the same, however, now, in the second overtime period, after scoring a touchdown you will be required to attempt a two-point conversion. Previously, the rule had stated that you must attempt a two-point conversion starting in the third period of overtime.
another rule that will be put into effect this year begins in the third overtime period. If the game reaches a third overtime, teams will run alternating 2-point plays instead of starting another drive at the opponent’s 25-yard line.This is a change from the previous rule, which started to use 2-point plays in the fifth overtime period.
All-time, Georgia is 8-7 in overtime games. Its most famous overtime win was a 54-48 Rose Bowl victory over Oklahoma in the 2018 College Football Playoff. Its most famous loss, you ask? That would be the following game, a 26-23 overtime heartbreaker to Alabama in the CFP Championship Game.
