There is, it's in rule 1 I believe. Something like, "When positioned properly, the pylon is out of bounds at the ntersection of the sideline and the goal line extended".
BUT
You cannot place the ball short of the goal line when an airborne player hits the pylon with the ball. That's a touchdown, plain and simple. Where do you plan on placing it? At the .0000005 inch line? If the ball did indeed go OB, that's about the point where it did. The standard practice is if the ball touches the pylon and the runner is either airborn or touching inbounds, and has not gone OB prior to touching, it's a TD.
In every game at every level from pee-wee to the NFL, that's SOP.
