Is there a reason for this?

If a guy falls down on an interception or just a catch or run without being touched, why are they ruled down?

I've never known why the NFL and CFB rules are different in regards to this specific rule.

I think the NCAA needs to graduate to more NFL rules such as this one you're talking about, and having to get 2 feet in-bounds instead of only one.

Enough of the high school crap...
