Give 5 reasons why you feel that CFB is better than the NFL

1.) Saturdays - There is nothing like waking up on a crisp autumn morning knowing that you will stuffed full of college football all damn day. Wall to wall coverage from late Friday night through Sunday morning. God, I love college football.
2.) The state of Florida - One state has had more influence on college football than almost anything else. Do people realize that in the 90s the national championship went through the state of Florida?
FSU - won in 93, 99. Played for it, but lost, in 96, 98
Florida - Won in 96. Played for it, but lost, in 95
Miamia - Won 91. Played for it, but lost, in 92, 94
So only in 1990 and 1997 did no teams from the state of Florida play in the "national championship" game. Truly impressive.(notice I quoted national championship. This should spare us of all the stupid, small arguments of official bowls and coalition and such)
3.) The claims to titles - I must have been one of the only people that thought having multiple national champions was cool. It lead to debates and conversations that are still had today. Who would have won between GT and Colorado? Who would have won between Michigan and Nebraska? We don't know, but we will speculate anyways. That's cool to me.
4.) Upsets - Sure, underdogs beat favorites in the NFL, but do they have the same effect? Think of all the game winning drives, kicks and hail marys that have impacted college football for the good. Cordell Stewart's hail mary, Nebraska's fifth down, kick six, MSU shocking OSU in 96(?), Vince Young's last drive, the SECCG in 2012. This list could go on and on. Think of how great each one of those moments were. I was so pissed at kick six that I just went to bed. Didn't scream or rant or break anything, I just went to sleep. I was that pissed.
5.) The Heisman Trophy - I don't think that there is a more controversial award in sports. The reason it is so great and controversial is that you are asking a simple question with a very complex answer. Who is the best player in college football? It is hard to tell when you can't compare different positions against each other, but we sure are going try. How do we know that the DB that doesn't get the ball thrown to his side isn't better than the QB that destroys the lame conference he plays in? That is what makes it great.
These are my reasons. I love college football

Hey, that's your opinion. You're entitled to it.

1) The regular season means much more
2) You don't have a penalty every play
3) The live home game atmosphere is much better
4) It's much easier to access the games you want to see
5) Better rivalries

Tradition, pageantry, student sections, bigger stadiums for big time college football, better fans, every game means more, more passion, the NFL is an awful sterile product, school vs school and state vs state is much cooler than corporate business vs corporate business

Saturdays is a good one. Sucks having to work on Monday and that "shite, i gotta go to work tomorrow" feeling usually sets in for me by the 4th quarter of the 3:15 games.
More atmosphere in the stadiums could be another.
Intriguing early season matchups and bowl/playoff matchups
Young white chicks on the telly
Watching recruits, pro prospects develop.

I enjoy and have issues with both of them for different reasons. Not everything has to be better than something else.

1. No Goodell
2. Bands > Arena rock
3. Your favorite college team will never move to Las Vegas or L.A.
4. Tailgating is better
5. No Goodell

It's not like the NCAA is much better.

When one of your reasons is "Florida", you know you're in over your head

I agree. But then again, you'll never see a game like Boise St. v. Oklahoma in the NFL

Beer in all the stadiums
Games that don't last 4+ hours
Better players/high quality of play
Real playoffs
