Question for Left Seater

[Mikey]

...or anybody who knows.

So, at the end of the Stanford - UCLA game last night, with Stanford just having taken a 16-13 lead, Josh Rosen attempted a Hail Mary pass on the final play. The play started with 00:04 left on the clock. He took the snap, ran around for a few seconds and then got leveled by a Stanford Linebacker (Joey Alfieri I think) and coughed up the ball. Solomon Thomas picked up the ball and ran it in tfor 22-13. Game over. Players start coming on the field. They never kicked the PAT. Nobody ever said anything about it. Is this normal for a game where a TD is scored with no time left and the PAT would make no difference?

[Left Seater]

Yes. The game is over and the PAT only matters to gamblers (if anyone) at that point.

Back in the day some conference tiebreakers used a positive points system, but those are all gone as well. They were mostly in FCS and below anyway.

In the 1982 Tangerine Bowl, Doug Flutie threw a touchdown pass as the clock ran out.

He was then allowed to run a two-point conversion for a final score of 33-22 in favor of Auburn.

Why allow a meaningless conversion?

[Left Seater]

Ol Doug was before my time as an official so no idea what the thinking was then. I haven't seen a meaningless try in my ten plus years of NCAA football.
