Even though the NFL has national coverage and is viewed by millions of people,

college football is just as, or even more widespread than the NFL. However, the

rules and regulations that come with college football are completely different than

those that the NFL has. For this reason it is important for sports bettors to

understand the rules that come with betting on college football. There are also

several basic aspects of college football betting that everyone should know about,

such as knowing the game, as well as maintaining a good bankroll.

College Football Differences

There are many differences that make college football a different game altogether,

but still making it as, or even more, competitive than the NFL. There are four main

differences, along with other differences that are not as noticeable; clock

management, pass reception, knee-downs, and tie-breakers.

Clock Management

In college football, the clock is managed completely different than it is in pro-

football. Every time one team or the other gets a ...
... first down, the clock is stopped.

The reason for this is so that the measurement crews have enough time to reset the

chains. In pro-football, however, the clock is not stopped for a first down; there

may be other factors that may make the clock stop but it is not due to a first

down.

Pass Reception

In college football, in order for a receiver to have a complete reception of a

pass, they have to have control of the ball, and have at least one foot on the

ground; this rule applies when the receiver is catching the ball and he may go out

of bounds. In pro-football, the player has to have both feet on the ground in order

for it to be a catch. As a result, this allows for longer and wider passes in

college football.

Knee Downs

This has been a very amusing difference between college and pro football. In

college football, the play is done once the player’s knee that has possession of

the ball touches the ground. However, in pro football the play is still live, even

if the player’s knee has touched the ground, until one of the opposing players

touches them. This has made college football much faster paced and competitive.

Tie Breakers

In college football, ties are determined by whichever team gets the most points

after their possession. Each team gets the ball on their opponent’s 25 yard line,

with 1st and Ten. At the end of both possessions, the team with the most points

wins. However, in case they are still tied, this process continues until a winner

is determined. In pro football, the tie is determined by sudden death, where one

team gets possession first; possession is determined by a coin flip. College

football breaks ties in this manner because it seems to equal out the chances each

team gets at winning.
