NFL could handle overtime the same way the NCAA does.
I have the same problem with the NCAA approach. A win in OT still counts as much as a regulation win. They should at least have the number of OT wins as part of their record, so that a team who is unbeaten, but won a game in OT, won’t have a “perfect” record.
Agreed, the college overtime rule is much more equitable. In the NFL, the winner of the coin toss usually wins the overtime, it seems.
The NHL does overtime right -- sort of. I don't like the shootout but the 5-minute OT period of 3-on-3 hockey is very exciting and encourages the teams to play all-out to score.
It’s fun, but NCAA overtime is truly ludicrous. 17-17 ties end up with a final score in the 40s.
