Largest Overtime Margin of Victory
« on: September 17, 2025, 08:55:56 AM »
Are there any examples in FBS of a team winning in overtime by more than a touchdown?

I came across one example of an FCS (actually it was I-AA at the time) game that ended 49-36 in overtime (five, actually). Nicholls State started the fifth overtime by scoring a touchdown, then had a pick-six during Texas State's series, thereby winning by 13 points.

Are there any other examples of teams winning by two scores in overtime? I assume 13 points is probably the record, because 14 would require TD+2 pt conversion+pick six, and I can't figure out how to get more than that.

I had one in a D2 game with a similar scenario.  Home team kicks a field goal in the top of the first.  Then they get a pick 6 to ice it.  Win by 9

Pretty sure a Kansas-West Virginia game a couple years ago went to OT and ended on a pick-6, resulting in a two-score margin.
