College football fans hammer overtime rules during Alabama-Auburn Iron Bowl

College football fans hammered the overtime rules during Alabama-Auburn Iron Bowl as college football teams must go for 2-point conversions after the second overtime period.

Alabama’s Kool-Aid McKinstry broke up a pass for Alabama in Auburn’s last chance to extend the game. Then John Metchie beat Roger McCreary for the game-winning conversion. Alabama prevailed 24-22 in 4 overtimes.

Here’s a reaction to the overtime rule:

I interrupt this unimaginably compelling football game to remind you what completely contrived nonsense this overtime system is. #IronBowl

The new OT rule means we’re probably gonna get a really dumb final score in the Iron Bowl
