Does This Change Anyone's Stance On NFL vs College?

I've always loved the NFL way more than college, and this just adds more reason to it.

The last 2 BCS games have been jokes, hell all of the major bowl games this season were, outside of the Rose, enough to where I turn it off at half time. Say all you want about the "passion" and "atmosphere" that college ball has. Sure, it's great. But, give me actual competitive football, with parity like the NFL over it.

Hopefully the playoffs for college will make this bull shite a little better, because I'm beginning to care less and less about college ball.

Am I alone on this?

The only problem I have with college is the long lay off between the regular season and the major bowls.

I think 12 out of 36 bowl games were within single digits this year. The only competitive BCS game featured an unranked team. I really like college football, but it simply doesn't compare to the NFL for me.

I've cared way more about the NFL this season over NCAA...which is saying a lot, because I didn't really care that much. As each year passes, I'm hating football a little more.

Outside of Seattle game I didn't watch 1 NFL post season game in it entirety but I've watched several college games. I prefer the college game though

I hate the first few weeks of CFB when there's so many blowouts because everyone's playing cupcakes. I hate the way it ends with the long layoffs and all the crap bowl games. The middle of the season in CFB is absolutely awesome thou.

The LSU/Bama game was the only game I watched all season that I got really into.

Ever since I've left LSU, I feel the same way.

Just no. Fix the post-season (which is in progress) and cfb is way more entertaining. NFL is too corporate and bland and homogenous.

How many blowout Super Bowls have there been? Only 13/46 have been within a TD. We've been spoiled these last few seasons, but other than that the game is usually awful. The first weekend of playoff games this year was also full of duds.

I can't really get into the NFL playoffs with the Saints already done. There was a time when I could but the NFL has become watered down now.

Alabama bitched slapped a team who just wasn't ready for the big stage. It won't be like this every year. But I agree that the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl have both fallen off as of late. I remember when the Superdome was packed all the way through the upper Terrace when I went to past Sugar Bowls. Now you just see half arse crowds and the atmosphere just sucks.

I love college football but the playing field isn't leveled like in the NFL. You don't have 4-5 teams dominate every year just based off of different talent. The talent is pretty much the same in the NFL it's just scheming and coaching.
