Another NCAA Rules Question

Does the NCAA have a different wording on allowing PATs when the outcome has been decided than the FED does?

Pure NCAA rules do not permit the extra point in that scenario. In Texas HS football, there is an exception which does permit it in games between schools which are in a district that uses a positive points tiebreaker when deciding playoff teams. You said this was a JUCO game so maybe that conference has a similar exception.

..what is the fed ruling that you're talking about?

The try is not attempted unless it effects play-off qualifying.
