In college football, if a team is going for a conversion and the defending team takes possesion (by an interception, fumble, blocked kick) and returns the ball to the other end zone, the DEFENDING team gets 2 points. If you count this as different than the offensive team getting a 2 point conversion then you will have many more options.
