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

    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

    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.

    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.

    Are you sure this is accurate?

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

    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

    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.

    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 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.

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

    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
