I think the key part in bold above "oppurtunity for either team" seems to indicate that both teams are entitled to points so if the game could be decided by a 2 pt. return I think the try must be conducted.. By saying the game is over after the TD and not requiring the try you are taking away the "oppurtunity" that team B is provided in the rules and those points would affect the outcome of the game.

Those were my thoughts but I am still in the process of learning NCAA rules. Since B can score on a PAT, I say you give them the opportunity. If A is smart, they would just down the ball and get off the field.
