🏈 Let's pretend someone was dumb enough to make me college football commissioner for a day. Here are three things I'd change -- and one thing I wouldn't

or just install a gps or other type of chip in the balls that could easily verify that the ball had crossed a plane. probably not hard to do these days.

Where do you put the chip? There are two tips of the football. Do you use two chips? The ball isn't flat, it's possible that the lace side of the ball touches the white line before the tip does. The entire ball can't be a chip.

Why? So few games went to overtime, and an even smaller percent went to multiple overtimes. Focus on getting the penalty calls correct and stop trying to mess with playing the game.

Overtime- I could get on board with backing it up to the 50. It opens up a little more of the playbook and doesn't condense the field to help out the defense.

Targeting- how many times did we see helmet to helmet and the defender actually aim low only to have the offensive guy lower his head causing the contact? Two tier works for me.

Downfield- add the 9th guy and give him 1 rule to enforce. The flag only gets thrown after the coaches have barked in the ear of the official for 3-4 series and then it gets thrown once!!! It still continues.

I'm pretty neutral on that; however.... I actually like having 3 games a year that are not power 5 to have a chance to actually buy a ticket and go to a game... Regardless, there are plenty of power 5 teams that are just crap teams too...

I am the commissioner, I can do what I want. LOL

Essentially unenforceable. You would wind up with Appointed P5 Games to avoid violation as the SEC did with Appointed Conference Games between 1954 and 1968. I am still pissed off about UGA having UNC as an appointed game in 1966 rather than Miami as was Tulane in 1964. UGA's win over UNC gave them a share of the SEC Championship with Bama in 1966.. UGA's lone loss in 1966 was to Miami. What was deemed fair for Tulane in 1964 should have been deemed fair for UGA in 1966!
