viper952 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Everything Variety of offenses, the atmosphere, the interesting matchups between unorthodox offenses and the defense. Not having to have 2 feet down in the end zone, no ties, better overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 And more games are available nationally. Though I forsee NFL on TV becoming more like college football on TV if the way the NFL does things is eventually declared as illegal (and these days it's very likely it will be).

Personally, I prefer college overall, but watching great defensive teams in the NFL is truly amazing, and not something that you’ll ever see at the collegiate level. While some college teams have great defenses, none of them are as sophisticated as what you see in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Small Town Values Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Personally, I don't believe the overall product comes anywhere close to pro football. I love the regular season ranked battles & CFB playoffs, but there are far too many lopsided contests throughout a season to conjure up the same enthusiasm I have for pro football. Any given Sunday simply doesn't apply to college ball anymore. The disparity between the haves & have-nots has even affected the famous college atmosphere with more empty / poorly attended games than ever before. The CFB playoffs, while I love them, has also killed my interest in Bowl games. Edited January 14, 2020 by Small Town Values Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 IMO, college football does a better job at marketing their product from a ratings standpoint (I'm not talking about outlier teams like Dallas/Green Bay that always draw ratings), based upon things like: *Network variation and timeframes: I can turn on CBS, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, and Fox on a Saturday from 12:00 noon EST to 1:00 AM the next day and view a plethora of games, conferences, and matchups. In the NFL, you get a 1:00 or 4:00 kickoff for 85%-90% of games, and if you don't have the NFL Sunday Ticket (total garbage monopoly by AT&T/DirecTV), you get stuck with geographical matchups, not to mention having to have NFL Network for several Thursday night/Saturday afternoon games (late in the season, ala Week 16 of the NFL this year). For most of us (myself included), I'm not paying for $150 a month for DirecTV AND a several hundred dollar Sunday Ticket ala carte on top of this, locked into a 2 year contract. That's egregious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I enjoyed the game last night but for me pro football is still ahead of the college game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 That's how I feel about college basketball vs the NBA, but the reason for that is because in the NBA regular season it looks like no one is interested and they are just coasting until the playoffs. In the NFL you can't coast or you are going to get hurt. I love both college football and the NFL, and while last nights game was as fun as any NFL game, i'd say the NFL has consistently better games.

Blazer026 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Disagree. I mean I love college football, but it’s too top heavy compared to the NFL imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I enjoy talent. The NCAA is awesome at it's own thing but it's not even comparable to the NFL. The reason you see "Variety of offenses" is b/c in college, the best athlete can succeed. In the NFL, everyone is the best athlete and they're damn good football players also. Your second statement is opinion so whatever and the third is seen in the NFL as well. They're just not gimmicky... b/c that doesn't work.

Tetsujin Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think CFB is more exciting, as long as it's not a lopsided game. And you just can't beat the atmosphere of a bigtime matchup, the amount of games, plus the variety of offenses, and the fact you have full player turnover every 4 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
