overtime score question
« on: November 17, 2024, 01:08:56 PM »
I'm inputting scores into the bracket, and I have a question on one... on the UIL bracket online, it has this:

Georgetown 48
Burleson Centennial 42 (2OT)

Friday Night Football app has the same score... How can you have a 5-point differential in an overtime game? Am I having a brain fart or is that not possible?

48-42 is a 6 point spread.

Oh dear, LOL. Yeah the cloud is cloud is lifting, now.  kindergarten math is hard, apparently.

Yeah I'm telling you it's been a day so far, working on the spreadsheet. last week and through Tues are by far the busiest due to the sheer volume of scores and assignments.

Please forgive the abusive comments. They are all in good fun.
Thank you for putting in the time and effort on the playoffs spreadsheet.

Just as a fun exercise, a 5 point spread in OT is possible a couple different ways. How so?

First team kicks a field goal.  2nd team screws up really bad and manages to give up a safety.

Apes vs Bears
Apes score a TD in first possession, then suffer an embarrassing 1 point safety on the try. Then the Bears fail to score in their possession series.

And a really "want to see that happen": First team scores a TD and a one point extra point. On the second possession series the second team scores a safety.
