Currently, college football is genuinely exciting far more often than pro football is. NFL needs to be concerned about that.

Is it really? I've had a hard time getting into either the last few years. Saban is sucking all the air out of the room.

Don't think the NFL has much to be concerned about.
Me, personally, I enjoy CFB a tad more than the NFL because I have a "real" connection with my rooting interest.

In b4 people come and talk about the superior talent and how polished the on field product is.
CFB>NFL all day, every day.

CFB and the NFL are about the same in terms of excitement as long as you have a rooting interest in both. People have been complaining about the number of unnecessary roughness penalties in the NFL, yet the NCAA has been focused on that too in the form of targeting and it ejects it's players as a result. I see little difference.

Why would the NFL be worried?
They aren't competitors. Notice they don't play on the same day (besides a shitty CFB matchup on Thursday).
Who sits there on Sunday or Monday and says "oh I watched CFB yesterday, I guess I can't watch the NFL today"?

Wonder what NFL ratings would be like without fantasy football

I can hardly watch a full NFL game anymore unless i put a few bucks on it... too many long periods during the game where NOTHING happens.

So other than eliminate Thursday night games (which ain't happening) what can they do? NFL is already geared towards offense...but the problem is the majority of these offenses and QBs absolutely suck.

When you understand football, watching the trenches in CFB leave a lot to be desired. There are so few decent O and D lines.

I didn't watch NFL because that game was going to suck. I also didn't watch college football last night because I had no interest in what they were showing.
Outside of a handful of games college has little to offer without a rooting interest, same for NFL most weeks.

I don't think anyone who watched A&M at UCLA will see a more exciting football game in the NFL regular season. In the NFL teams rarely fall apart. Momentum doesn't swing as drastically or immediately. Your unknown backup NFL QB can't come in and explode in a game or turn a season around. CFB is more volatile and emotional which makes it less predictable. Sure there is a huge talent gap, but I'm not sure that matters.

PFT whined and cried for all of the changes that gave us that result

I wouldn't watch many nfl games at all if it weren't for fantasy football. Constant pass interference penalties have really messed up the game.

Its true and long has been. The biggest part of that to me is the atmosphere in college is just so much more genuine and fun, not as commercialized...at least when teams play at home and not at neutral sites. There's nothing better than waking up on a crisp Fall Saturday morning to College Gameday and a full day of games nationwide.
It's becoming more true of both, but the NFL especially has too many commercials and unnecessary penalties in the for my liking. I still watch but it's frustrating how the game has changed.

I highly doubt the NFL is concerned about CFB, at least not at this time. CFB ratings are also down.

When the final MNF numbers come in, total viewing of the 7 NFL Week 1 windows will surpass total viewing of the 49 CFB windows thru Week 2.

Exhibit A that CFB garners more attention from my perspective. I only watch ex-LSU players and I don't have a fav NFL team.
Exhibit B. I watched the Saints opener Mon night b/c it's the local team and AP back in Minn. When they switched to the booth of Rex "Foot Fetish" Ryan with Beth "Bull Dyke" Mowins and introduced the opposing minority head coaches, only to later go to Sergio, the spastic minority sideline reporter, I flipped channels with the quickness.
The only thing that could have been more apropos in that broadcast would have been a National Anthem with both teams kneeling and facing away from the flag, along with Micheal Sam suited up and coming off the field after a big play to suck face with Sergio.
Somebody give me a shout when the Super Bowl comes around so I can make sure to get on a pool.

Yah this is the first time in my life that I can definitively say that I prefer college to NFL.
Posted on 9/15/17 at 12:32 pm to RollTide1987
I don't understand why the NFL plays 10 games at 1 EST and then 3 games at 4PM EST. WTF? The late games are almost always terrible unless Dallas or Atlanta is playing in one.
