There is no such thing as a five point feld goal in College Football. Nor in Professional Football or Canadien Football. There are/were instances of four point field goals: * In Arena Football, all drop kicked field goals are worth 4 points * NFL Europa (noe defunct) experimented with a four point field goal. The FG was worth 4 points if it was sucessfully completed and 50 yards or longer * The newly formed USFL (play will begin in 2009 or 2010, maybe) will have four point FG's, provided they are sucessfully compleyed kicks of 55 yards or longer Field goals counted for 5 points between 1897 and 1903 and for 4 points from 1904 to 1908. They've been worth 3 points ever since 1909.
