| Trailing 35-24 and getting 10 points from the bookies. In the final minute and driving for points. I don't buy that field goal - onside kick - touchdown - two point conversion stuff. It's near impossible. They're trying to cover the points.

Sounds like someone lost some money on that game.

| Don't points scored/allowed end up in some sort of whizbang statistical tie breaking bullshit for home field advantage in the playoffs if there are a bunch of teams with the same record?

It has been years since I have seen that tie-breaker. I think they eliminated it. It was great though when "team A" had to play a team out of it and if they didn't take "team B" to the woodshed and cream them by 40 points they weren't getting in. No punting on 4th down, etc - was always a fun time.
This was just an ugly ugly "backdoor" cover though.

A) I am pretty sure there is still a tie-breaker on points, but it's a ways down the list of tie-breaking priorities.
B) I firmly believe that in football you should ALWAYS try to score no matter the what the scoreboard says. Never say die!

People in the press were giving FSU coach Bobby Bowden a hard time several years ago about running up the score on someone and he repleid along the lines of "I thought it was the other team's defense's responsibility to keep the score down."

That's exactly the way I feel about it. The game is 60 minutes long. I can see putting in your backups/JV/Freshmen/ etc if a game is out of hand, but never telling your guys not to try and score.
