Prefer to watch college in ALL sports. Pro sports regular season is boring AF

My teams: Saints over LSU by a razor thin margin. I honestly go back and forth.
Random regular season game: college by a mile.
Postseason w/o my teams: NFC/AFC ship Sunday over CFP semi final Saturday

College. I seem to get more excited about the start of CFB and bowl season than I do the NFL and the playoffs.

Collage by a billion. If the saints lose it’s fine the moment after it happens.

If NFL could sort their officiating out it’d be them. The flags make so many games almost unwatchable.

I like the atmosphere, energy and tradition of College Football. I also like to follow a player's progress and hope to see him get a shot at playing well for his school.
But I really LOVE the NFL. The "Any given Sunday" quote is so fricking true. It's also far more black and white. Teams don't pick their schedules and a win is a win and a loss is a loss. You can't load up your roster every year with a cap either. Your team can suck one year and go on a crazy run the next.

I prefer college due to the far wider variety in offensive and defensive systems. The NFL feels very bland and corporate with most teams running very similar looking strategies. The variety of CFB allows for far more shenanigans.
I also feel like the NFL’s rules are worse for the fan than cfb, and I prefer cfb’s wider hashmarks.
Outside of the targeting rules (which were much better this year), cfb is heads and shoulders above the nfl at officiating.
I also prefer the pageantry and traditions of cfb along with the crazy student sections. The NFL is just drunk upper middle class xers and boomers listening to piped in hip/hop.
The last decade has ruined the NFL as a viewing experience. It has hurt cfb in some ways too, but not nearly to the same extent.
Finally, the NFL is a dinosaur when it comes to selection of games to watch due to their regional coverage. I get damn near EVERY college game to pick from, so I can flip between the games that are relevant and competitive and not get stuck with the one blowout network television’s saddled me with.

College football. NFL is unwatchable these days.

College. Every game matters. Lose and your possibly out of the playoffs. You can lose a handful of games in the NFL and still make it.
AND.... you can watch every college game without having to buy the games like NFL Ticket

I am also an idiot
My NFL team has played for a title twice.
my CFB has never been, and probably won't ever be
Yet I love CFB more

I like college better because it's not so structured. The Saturdays during college gives you games all day long and gives you choices. On Sundays you are basically stuck with what the NFL gives you. I'm not paying to have access to all NFL games.

As I’ve gotten older I’m starting to enjoy watching the NFL more.
No denying that being an Ole Miss fan is rough and can be hard lining up against bama and hoping to pull a miracle. But also SO many games are just so lopsided it’s just boring as shite.
The nfl is great to just sit around and watch good well played football.
So really I care more about CFB but enjoy watching NFL more overal.

The NFL is a boring and bad product, especially with the bad officiating and sketchy outcomes. If not for the Saints I wouldn't watch 90% of the NFL games. Unless it's a really intriguing playoff match-up or the Saints I tune it out. Really only watched the Saints game and parts of the Texans game. Got a haircut during the Patriots game and didn't even watch the Seattle game. Even with college football a lot of the games have a huge talent gap between teams so a lot of the games suck.. The only difference is that it's a local product which has a little more meaning. Especially if you went to the school or are from the area, which makes it more fun.

College.
NFL referee’s are awful and the game sucks.

My favorite part in these threads is all the CFB fanboys talking about how every game matters while the P5 continues to play FCS schools
Oh yes, AU playing fricking Citadel will surely have tremendous impact on their season.
You can extend this to the P5 vs G5 as well. Even though the gap is smaller compared to P5 vs FCS, it's still absurd on average.
Just because losing a game has more significance does not mean the game is worth more.
Also just points to a team that can be great for the entire season, but come out flat for 1 game, lose by 2, and that's it. They're fricked. Season is now shot unless shite happens out of their hands![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)
