Another NCAA Rules Question

Were there a few seconds left after they scored the touchdown or before? Score with time on the clock then we're still playing, no time on the clock, we're done.

Rule says try shall not be attempted if it has no affect on the game. I guess they sometimes allow it. Same thing happened last week in Ohio State @ Indiana. IU scored on last play to make it 33-13 and the try made is 33-14.

There was no time on the clock after the touchdown.
