The longest overtime games in FBS college football history

Illinois and Penn State made college football history with the Illini's 20-18 win in a nine-overtime thriller on Oct. 23, 2021. It became the first and is the only game in FBS history to go nine overtimes, capped off by an Illini game-winning two-point conversion to upset the No. 7 Nittany Lions.

In 2021, the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a change to overtime rules again.

  • Teams will be required to run a 2-point conversion play after a touchdown when a game reaches a second overtime period. Previously, a 2-point attempt was required after the third overtime period.
  • Also established in 2021, if the game reaches a third overtime, teams will run alternating 2-point plays, instead of starting another drive at the opponent’s 25-yard line. This is a change from the previous rule, which started to use 2-point plays in the fifth overtime period.

Couple of bad decisions and a couple home-cookin' situations but you've got to take yourself out of those situations before they happen. The "no catch" TD that they took away was the game breaker. I wouldn't be surprised if the conference takes a serious look at that one.
