I believe there is a rules exception for intentionally spiking that was instituted in the (relatively) recent past--maybe 10-15 years??? I don't believe it used to be the case.

NCAA Rules Interpretations
The rules on intentional ground includes language that it is being done to prevent a loss of yards from a sack. Spiking the ball to stop the clock isn't being done to stop a loss of yards.
There is an exception for the holder so that he's not down when he kneels. There was a lot of discussion of this back when Les was the coach and we ran a fake where the holder (Flynn) blindly threw it over his shoulder to the kicker (David).

SECTION 18. Encroachment and Offside

Offside occurs when one or more players of the kicking team are not behind their restraining line when the ball is legally free-kicked.(Exception: The kicker and holder are not offside when they are beyond their restraining line.)
