YTF is the Pylon out of bounds in CFB?

Why wouldn't it be?

 

[WizardHawk]

Actually your question is phrased as such that you may believe the pylons at other levels of football aren't out of bounds?

The distraction/confusion from the duck play is about making contact with the pylon with anything other than the ball.
A pylon is out of bounds and just across the end zone at every level. If the ball makes contact with it BEFORE any part of the player lands/touches out of bounds it is considered a TD. If a player makes contact with the pylon with any part of their body they are out of bounds and the ball is placed at the location where it was at the moment that body part made contact.

It's as simple of a rule as there is in football.

Pylons are inbounds in the nfl.

It makes sense for them to be inbounds because you are inbounds until you step out. You score a TD by matriculating in the third dimension over the end zone line. So, you wouldn’t want to make the three dimensional pylon OUT of bounds because OUT is supposed to be the ground. You want to make the pylon IN so you know you matriculated OVER the inbounds area and thus scored a TD.

Pylons are on the white lines that mark out of bounds. That’s why they are.

Pylons are most definitely not sitting inside the end zones. They are in line, and sitting on, the out of bound lines that intersect with the goal line. Ball hits it, it's a TD. Body hits it, it's out of bounds. Pretty simple.

Wow, you got BS's for a well written and factual post. How dare a level headed and non-insulting factual statement be found on these boards!

Making the pylon makes this situation a touchdown. Offensive player jumps in the air, catches a pass, while coming down his first point of contact is hitting the pylon, next point of contact is out of bounds. This happened in a Michigan vs Michigan State game about 5-8 years ago and it was incorrectly ruled a touchdown, this was before replay reviewed every scoring play, I believe.

Yep, not sure where the debate is here. This isn't baseball, tennis, or volleyball. The line in football is out of bounds and guess where the pylon sits

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

You are over thinking this. If a player makes contact with the pylon inside of the line its all good. Its the line not the pylon

Hey lets move the goal posts back to the goal again too

Pylon is definitively out of bounds, but perhaps he's just thinking about the ball touching the pylon? In which case it's not out of bounds, but rather an indicator that the ball breached the goal line for a td. You do hear commentators falsely attribute the pylon as being "in bounds" all the time. But they are not talking about the runner. Just the ball.

 

[rmilia1]

The part of the rule I've never understood is when a guy is in bounds , dives and the ball crosses the goal line but outside the pylon he's deemed as not crossing the goal line . If the pylon is out of bounds ( which it is ) then why is it "inbounds" when the ball touches it ?
