07'-08' Rule Changes

By now, most people are aware of the two big rule changes: the clock once again starting on the snap instead of the ready-to-play signal, and kickoffs starting at the 30 instead of the 35... but the list does go on. Outside of the aforementioned two rules, I think the addition of egregious fouls to reviewable replays is the most notable of changes. Imagine last year if the refs had been allowed to replay the "sideline brawl" of the Miami-Florida International game and actually penalize the teams during the game. It's too early to say if this rule is a good idea or not but, when used, it will definitely have a heavy impact on future games...
