What are the most amount of points an NFL team, and college team can win by in OT?

[The Giant]

I believe the answers are 9 and 8, respectively.

Please correct or confirm.

Thank you.

NFL is 6. After a touchdown game is over, they don't kick the XP

College is 10 I believe. Because if you score a TD + 2 point that's 8. Then if you return a INT/fumble for "TD" in OT that's worth 2 isn't it? Or is it worth a different amount? I forget

In the NFL, they can kick a field goal, then the other team gets the ball. I'm not sure if they can return it for a touchdown after that or not.

I'm pretty sure college is 8. Touchdown + two point conversion, and then if the other team gets it on defense the game automatically ends.

In NCAAF

Once you turn the ball over, the possession/play is done

IN NFL

You can get 9

[antifoil]

nfl could be a field goal and then a pick six for 9.

[SamDiamond]

Giant-- in college the answer is 14.

Because--- entering the 3rd overtime-----each team must go for 2.

So, Team A scores first and converts the 2 point conversion. They are up 8.

Next play, they return int/fumble for score/ They are up 14.

From a college football website:

Per Rule 3-1-3(e)(f). All touchdowns count if the defensive team returns a ball for a score, regardless of when the possession occurs; the play is not dead immediately on change of possession. The reason being the defensive team could fumble and lose possession and the offensive team could return it for a score. Nothing in Rule 3-1-3 or 8-2-1 prohibits the score.

NFL is 9
kick FG and then a defensive score(pick 6 or fumble return)

college is 14
3 OT
TD plus 2 points coversion and then a defensive score

Kid, not as long as the play is live.

Because the team could fumble the ball, giving the offense a chance to pick it up and score.

[boeing power]

Think 9 in nfl.

Nfl can kick FG and pick 6.

Are you sure this is accurate?

I know it used to be, but I'm pretty sure they got rid of this rule.

Let me look this up to me sure

[Louisvillekid1]

After a few google searches it looks like sam is right

Shame on me, I swear I can almost remember specific games where they throw a pick and the play stopped...

Maybe it was in endzone or something, IDK

[ChuckyTheGoat]

In Coll: what if a QB kept scrambling backwards 70 yards and ran out of the endzone? Could end up losing by 10 pts. 8 + 2 = 10.

[Seaweed]

Giant you made fun of me for asking this to you last night and now it's not so funny is it?

[SamDiamond]

I am pretty sure it is... it goes to live ball issue.

If the defender starts running around with the ball attempting to score, the ball is considered live-----because in theory, they could still fumble, and the offense could pick it up and score.

So, the play remains live---until they are either downed, or they run out of bounds, or they score.

i won one ncaaf game once -7.5 it was an amazing feeling

I can't find anything online refuting what you're saying, although I could have sworn the rule got changed.

I'll go with 14 unless proven otherwise. Thanks, Sam.

[Seaweed]

Unreal

[The Giant]

Seaweed, I have no recollection of that conversation. I'm sorry.

[TonyTall]

giant are you stalking me

[The Giant]

Of course not, Tony.

You know you're my boy...

[Ghenghis Kahn]

nfl ot, fg and a pick 6.

ncaa ot, td and 2 point conversion.

[Smoke]

Giant this is a ridiculous question

Giant you are better than this

[The Giant]

the answer is yes.

nfl ot, fg and a pick 6.

ncaa ot, td and 2 point conversion.

It's not 14 for college??

[Brock Landers]

i think they chsnged the rule in College where the MAX you can win by is 8....i don't think a defensive score is possible in OT after the 1st team scores

[billysink]

Shit I can't act like I fukkin know that is for sure.

[Seaweed]

Smoke walks into room

Smoke asks Giant "would you like some headphones?"
Giant says , my names not phones but sure.

This is what I thought too, Brock, but I'm having trouble finding any proof online.

Inappropriate.

Came to post this

[frogsrangers]

In high school we got beat 54-40 in 3 overtimes. The team we lost to scored a TD and 2 point conversion then returned an INT for 6 on our last OT possession

[C-Gold]

Could you imagine having a CFB dog +13 and then losing in 3 OT???

did you make any of your 3 career catches in this game?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i'm 99.9% sure it's 8.

[InTheDrink]

to be clear a team can go for 2 in any OT so it doesn't necessarily have to be the third OT

a team is a lot more likely to convert a 2 pt conversion in the first ot than they are to run a turnover all the way back after they're up 8 points
