Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I voted for the kicking tee removal, simply because it's going against OT.  I don't hate the idea of OT, I'm not nostalgic for ties.  I simply hate how college football executes it.  I could even get on board with starting at midfield, or maybe even the 40, so that teams at least had to do something to get into field goal range.

I like the college OT system. Definitely prefer it to the NFL system.

Could it be improved? Probably. I could see moving it back to the 40. 

Does it *need* to be improved? Not necessarily. I don't see the current system as deficient.

what you're really saying is you want it to be more like soccer..

Well soccer and hockey both continue for some period of time under normal rules before going to their tiebreaker.  Soccer moreso, because in the NHL now OT is 3 on 3.  If you move it back to start with, I think that's closer to hockey, where it's still the same game, we've just made it a little easier to score.  I think NHL rules would be more like before doing what they do now, they played a 5 minute period of 7 on 7s.  So you still had the normal set up, but with a lot more open space to theoretically encourage more scoring.

With the playoffs, ties make a little more sense tactically, so I could see getting rid of OT in the regular season

In addition to moving it back, I wish they'd stop keeping stats or counting points if they are going to do it that way.  Just leave it tied, and give a team a win and a team a loss, but the score and stats are frozen at the end of regulation.  The NHL doesn't count Shootout stats, and IMO college football OT is more akin to that.

I think I agree on the stats.  I'm not sure because it feels like players should get some kind of "credit" for OT but I don't like the idea that a 31-31 game in regulation ended with a gazillion points.  I could see just giving the winning team one point, call it an "OT point".  Ie, keep the current scoring while playing the OT's, but once the whole thing is over the winner of that game officially gets credited with at 32-31 win.  I don't know.  
I also kinda like the idea of moving it back to the 40, or at least the 30.  From the 25 it is a very makeable 42 yard FG.  If you know that all you need is a FG then you can run three dive plays that will almost always get you a yard or two each to knock it down to a 36-39 yard FG.  Even just moving back to the 30 would help because from there it would be a 47 yard FG which is at the long end of the reliable range for most kickers.  

I like the idea of OT TD's counting as 2 point OT conversions and OT FG's aa 1 point OT conversions.  

Officially you don't score a TD in OT, you score a 2-pt OT  conversion.  Kickers don't kick a FG, they kick a 1-pt OT conversion.

This will keep player stats and team scores down.
