 Why is this so hard? As an NFL player and as somebody that has covered the NFL and college football for me for years, I can tell you I hate both of their overtimes. I'm going to be honest with you. College football overtime is lame. You give them the ball at the 25 over and over and over again. They're just marching in and scoring. It feels like a bastardized version of the game. None of it really makes sense to me.
