What's one rule you'd change in college football?


Let's go back to when running out of bounds always stops the clock.

Horse collar. Fucking stupid. What else are you supposed to grab in that situation?
-
The clock rules to allow for more commercials to pay the cost of the over commercialized game is also my main complaint
Ban sideline bimbos male and female
Get rid of targeting and make football great again.
Ban 7 on 7 camps
And most of all
-
It should only be called when its blatant
-
The automatic ejection for targeting is fucking stupid. Even worse that it can carry over to the first half of the next game.
-
I mostly hate the transfer portal especially because the young men quit rather than wait their turn or grind and get better. Not great life lessons as a young adult. I get they should have better movement options but allowing a player to transfer 3 and 4 times doesn’t seem to benefit anyone.
-
The rule where Dillon johnson got hurt vs Texas and nearly cost us the game. No idea why the clock didn't run after that.
-
Pass interference should be a spot foul. The fact you can tackle a guy who cleanly beat you is gay as fuck.
-
yes, targeting.
NGAF. It's a brutal sport and if you have talent to excel in other things you probably shouldn't play it. But whatever. People do, so let them be what they signed up to be.
And, after several years now, we are dog shit shitty at calling it. Calls are all over the place, they are often game changing and nobody knows what to do to avoid it.
Also, quit protecting the QB so fucking much. If you so much as hurt their feelings now you get a massive penalty. It's dumb. Play the game. If you're going to sit back there and survey the field you're going to get it. If you tuck and run you should be treated like a running back, because that's what you are.
Also, sliding. Shouldn't be a thing. If your ass isn't on the ground for a "one thousand and one" count it's live and you get fucking hit.

I miss the days of automatic erection for targeting.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This very gif came to mind reading this thread myself, too lazy to search. tyfys

You asked for two right?
- Why did we bring the two-minute warning back? It feels like an ancient rule from back when there were no scoreboards and someone had to yell two minute warning in a game that was 4-2. I get it helps keep things more interesting at the end if a team is trying to come back. Fine, then at least get it out of the first half. This game already has enough stoppages and commercials.
- I don't like the new accelerated overtime. It feels like it turns it much more into a game of chance soccer shootout style. I get they want to avoid 6 hour games then just make it NFL style. I never loved the 25-yard-line one either. There's no real perfect overtime for football as a sport.

Don James successfully lobbied to change it from a spot foul
You would have fired him
-
the dueling 2 point conversions (starting in 3rd ot I think?) is so fucking dumb
-
No kicking specialists. Player who scores the TD kicks the extra point or you go for 2. FG attempts must be attempted by the QB, if you’re going to pretend they were injured on the previous play then the attempt must be done by a player who touched the ball during the series.
No more 60 minutes of 300 lb monsters killing themselves just so a 135 lb Serbian soccer player can blow it or get all the glory on the last play. -
I'd change more in the NFL. The rules are even dumber.
-
If we're including off the field, the portal and NIL are a complete mess. You can transfer once without penalty. After that, sit out a year prima donna.
-
Georgia vs. Georgia Tech is the only game I've really watched it with yet and it was incredibly stupid. Seems like a huge overreaction to an ultra rare problem. How many times has UW even played more than one overtime? I barely remember even very many Pac-10/12 games with several overtimes. Once you get to the dueling conversions you might as well just go back to ties or a coin flip.

They’ve gotta speed up the replay. Doesn’t need to take 5 fucking minutes to analyze a call. Some of these refs take that fucking long to look at it and it fucks up the flow of the game.
-
I'd ban coaches jumping into pools. And also, Notre Dame.
-
Road team cheerleaders required to perform topless would improve the game experience
Especially on brisk Fall days.
-
I’d like to introduce the mechanism of the rouge into college football.
-
I kind of like that idea. Putting the goalposts on the goal line should be examined.
Plus the punt for a first down thing the cheeseheads do is kind of fun too.
-
Not a rule of the sport but more a universal policy adopted by all stadiums/P2 programs, but stop telling everyone else to sit down just because you want to sit. Thanks for paying for a ticket but you honestly need to stay at home if that's your mentality.
-
There are waaaaay too many "play is under review". Work it more like the NFL which is sparing in these.

Nobody sits in my vicinity, unless you need a timeout to catch your breath or blow into a paper sack, or TDGS(Too Drunk, gotta sit) kinda stuff. I’m the worst fan though
-
If they want to keep this sport viable moving forward, given how expensive it keeps getting, they're going to need more offense. Offense sells.
- Defenders must declare intent to rush the passer. Undeclared defenders can tackle the QB after he shows clear intent to run.
- Two men in motion at the snap allowed, as is motion toward the LOS.
Another idea I'm toying with is allowing a second forward pass within 10 yards of the LOS as long as they're separated by a backward pitch.
-
All offensive linemen should be eligible receivers. They must declare themselves ineligible if they are strictly there to block.

How about no more blaring music and have the marching band be the main attraction
