That is what i have always thought but yet there are some people who believe that it would be ruled a safety in the NFL. But yet the rule book states its a touchback. Please give me some input.

In the NCAA and NFL, they must "cover it" by downing it, or it would be a safety.
In NF, if it crosses the goal line and is not in player possession, it is blown dead when it crosses.
Where did you look up and find "if you catch a kick-off in the end zone and you do not down it but get tackled in the endzone but you never break the plain that it is ruled a touch back."
