I don't think college OT is gimmicky but just giving the other team a chance to match would be more fair, especially in the playoffs.
We hear it all the time and it's true: the game doesn't favor defense anymore. It's not about being aggressive. I mean TB went zero blitz at the end of the game and got torched over the top. Corners can't be as physical. It's a lot easier to get separation now. I think the playoffs need to account for that by allowing the other offense to get one chance.
