Or are you saying; "win it in regulation or you don't deserve the win and let it end in a tie with no OT"?  That would be fine with me, but you still have to have equitable OT rules for the playoffs, since they can't end in a tie. I just don't see why giving the kicking team a possession if the first team scores a TD, is asking too much.  It helps to negate the coin toss creating an advantage. Data since the new OT rules were put in place supports this advantage:According to the <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/08/sport/football-overtime-rules-college-vs-nfl/index.html" target="_blank">Stathead database</a>, there have been a little over 160 overtime games under the current rules for winning in overtime (including the postseason). The team that got the ball first has won 52% of the time. The team that kicked off has won 42% of the time. The rest were ties, which happens in regular season games when no one scores during the now 10-minute overtime period.</blockquote>
