There really is no such thing as an "upset" in the NFL.

Depends on what you define as an upset? Underdog winning? Probably a wash. Underdog by 14+ winning? Probably college.

College. Think App State over Michigan or UAB over LSU.

Considering the level of parity in the NFL, there can pretty much be no upsets. So the NCAA. Easily.

How is this even a question? The NFL only has about 30 teams all filled with the best football players in the world. Sure some teams aren't that good, but it's still made up of professional football players.
The difference in a great NFL team and the worst one is much, much smaller than a top 5 CFB team and one ranked in the 100s.

While an NFL underdog has a more probably chance at an upset, the impact of a college underdog pulling an upset is much higher.
I feel like any team in the NFL can beat any other NFL on any given Sunday. Sure there are favorites and more consistent winners, but with so much parody I don't know if Jacksonville beating the Seahawks is really considered the same type of upset as Appalachian St. beating Michigan. Also, losing a regular season game in the NFL is not the same as college.

Too much parity in the NFL. Look at how bad the Jags were last year and went into Seattle and almost won. Georgia Southern beating FLA last year was a huge upset. I know FLA wasn't a typical FLA team, But A huge upset just the same.

The worst team in the NFL would be ranked #32 if College Football rankings were used.
The NFL has far more parody so its easier for upsets in the NFL. College football has a bigger magnitude of upsets I'd say but they are less likely to happen.
Say Purdue (which could be anywhere from #45-60) over Ohio State (#2-4) has the potential to be a far bigger upset but far less likely to happen than #32 over #1 in the NFL

All the teams in the NFL have professional players, so things are a lot more even. Therefore, the last-place NFL team has a better chance of beating the top team than App State had to beat Michigan. By the same token, an NFL upset isn't as "huge" as it would potentially be in college, so I will say college just because the magnitude of an upset can be greater there.

No it wasn't. NOW the Jets -Colts in SB WAS A HUGE upset. It changed the NFL forever.
