There shouldn’t be triple overtime in college football. Sometimes a tie is just a tie. This ain’t baseball.

Yup, Pittsburg lost to Youngstown State, Cincinnati, Syracuse and Louisville. And Notre Dame couldn’t beat them til the third OT. ND no longer deserves any consideration for anything significant in BCS.

I’m in trouble now. Wife and I were having dinner with some friends this evening. The game was on flat screen TV in the wall over my buddy’s shoulder and I got caught sneaking looks ever couple of seconds. Wife let me know that I wasn’t fooling anybody. Got home in time to see the Irish pull it out. Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame!

They should have a points system

4 points for a regulation win
3 points for an overtime win
1 point for an overtime loss
0 points for a regulation loss

By that criteria, Notre Dame wouldn’t have a perfect record, an overtime win should not be rewarded the same as a regulation win. Personally, I’d get rid of overtime and go back to ties.
