No they keep playing, you have to go for two after the 2nd OT period. Kentucky/Arkansas had a doozy (7 OTs), I know Ole Miss had a long one with Arkansas (xconfusedx). Hampton and FAMU had a long game as well.

Actually it could. At least it almost did in the 2005 Harvard-Yale game in New Haven. The Game went to triple OT and if Harvard didn't score in the third overtime, the game would've been called due to darkness and end up in a 24-24 tie. There are no lights in the Yale Bowl and playing a 4th OT would've been out of the question.

Harvard ended up winning 30-24. The game started at 12:30 and it lasted nearly 4 hours long.

Yale Bowl is one of three Ivy League stadiums without lights (Brown and Dartmouth are the others).

We came close to that dilemma in 1995 when Lehigh beat Lafayette 37-30 in 2 Ots. Darkness was decending as Brian Klingerman made his fantastic one-hand catch in the back of endzone in the glow of the scoreboard.xnodx

Went to a D-II playoff game last year, it ended at regulation 56-56, final after numerous overtimes- 76-73.

The college overtime playoff system kicks butt on the NFL method.
