It wasn't pretty, but Virginia Tech edged North Carolina 43-41 in a six-overtime game this past Saturday. The Hokies and Tar Heels were the first to try out college football's new overtime rules, which now requires teams to go for the two-point conversion in the fourth overtime instead of the third.
Saturday's game may have set an ACC record, but it wasn't the longest in college football history. The NCAA did away with ties in 1996, and since then, five games have gone into the seventh overtime. Here they are (in chronological order).
