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.

What is the rule for a missed field goal in college football?
In college football, the rule for a missed field goal to the kicker's left is called wide left and conversely wide right if it misses to the kicker's right. It is described as short if it is aimed correctly but does not have the distance to go over the cross bar.
How far is a extra point in football?
It is about a 14 yard field goal.
If a field goal is missed can the defense run it back for a touchdown and is that considered a blocked kick or just a regular punt return?
Yes, the defense can return a missed field goal for a touchdown. However, the touchdown would be credited to the special teams and not to the defense since a field goal is considered a special teams play. The TD would be considered under the heading 'return of a missed field goal' and not a blocked kick nor punt return.
