INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has adjusted the targeting rule in college football. Video review officials are now allowed to overturn a targeting call if any element of the penalty cannot be confirmed. The adjustment means there will be no option for letting the call on the field stand during a review. The overtime format also was changed. Once a game reaches a fifth overtime, teams will run alternating 2-point plays instead of starting another drive at the opponent's 25-yard line.
