New rules for College Football for next season

The overlords at the NCAA Football Rules Committee have some changes for
College Football next year. Here are the main changes you will see in 2007:
- When a change of possession occurs the clock will start at the snap, not when the official marks the ball ready to play.
- On a kickoff the clock starts when a returner touches the ball, not when it is kicked.
- Instant replays will now be limited to 2 minutes
- Kickoffs will be pushed back 5 yards - to the 30 yard line. **Less touchbacks! I like this one.
All these changes are said to increase the speed of the game, so far it looks like they hit the mark...we shall see.
