Yup. I wrote about this last week and am glad everyone's on board. It makes way too much sense. I'm not sure how I feel about unlimited overtime, though. I think there's a point where you have to just call it a tie.
I'm tired of teams laying up in overtime to play for a field goal. And I'm tired of teams winning on the first possession.
The reason, by the way, that you play to 5 and not to 6 is that you want to prevent teams pinned back on the 1 yard line from purposely taking a safety on 4th down instead of punting the ball away to give the other team very good field position.
