<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>Janssen and Daniel analyzed the choice between a one‐ or a two‐point conversion for a particular game situation in college football. Their decision criteria was maximum expected utility based on a von Neumann‐Morgenstern utility function defined over the games outcomes. An alternative approach based on a stochastic dominance criterion is presented that does not rely on knowledge of the relative importance of tying vs. winning; rather, it relies on a notion of consistency in the sequential problem.</jats:p>
