College football vs the NFL

[03EBZ06]

I've enjoyed NCAA Football this season. This season has been great thus far, how many times have we've seen 12 top-5 teams get beaten by unranked teams?

Unlike NFL, one loss can have detrimental effect on aspiration of becoming NCAA champion and unfolding drama each week is greater in NCAA than the NFL. It feels like each week is a playoff for NCAA.

The "atmosphere" is something to distract you from the product. If I tried to sell you a "spinning turd" -- as Catch17 would put it -- would you buy it if it had a good atmosphere?

The football is inferior, the athletes are inferior, and the coaches are inferior in college. I don't get caught up in all the pageantry of college football. For me it doesn't overcome the lack of a good product on the field. But then again, I'm not homosexual.

Great post

Which is stupid because just because you lose 1 game doesn't mean your not the best team in the Nation.

Imagine if the media got to pick who played in the Superbowl at the end of the regular season?

Thats what college football does.

I certainly agree that college needs a playoff format; however, I think it has been a great year of college football. Teams and certain conferences are stronger than ever. The SEC has continued to wear out great teams and give them 1-2 losses. The PAC has had teams ranked 1,2, and 4-6 all year...teams aren't ending up with 1-2 losses because they aren't really as good as advertised; it's because the competition throughout their conferences is tremendous.

I follow the PAC and the USC Trojans closely. If USC had lost 2 games five years ago, they would have been in rebuilding mode. This year, though they lost to lowly Stanford, everything can be pointed at playing teams like Calf., Arizona ST., Oregon, UCLA, and others....it's hard for any team to win them all when playing other teams that are great. LSU is a perfect example in the SEC...they didn't lose to the top teams in their conference. Instead they lost to Kentucky and Arkansas....how embarrassing. Yet, I believe that has a lot to do with all the tough games every other week.

The championship game this year may very well end up being Missouri against WVA, but does anyone actually think those are really the top two teams in the NCAA?

The best bowl game this year may very well end up being the Rose Bowl, where it looks like you could have USC and Ohio State.

I think it's been a great college season, and I think we've seen some great teams and certainly more great teams playing each other than ever before. Does anyone really want to return to the years of the past when some teams went undefeated by scheduling half their games against teams that provided "Sure Wins" ?

College football > NFL

And as a relevent side note:

A&M > tu

i hate u lol... although it will never reach my level of hate of mack brown :laugh2: :bang2: Vince saved Brown's job without him no chance brown ever wins a NC!

and yea college football is a LOT more exciting than the NFL. the intensity, the crowd, the high stakes its great! but yea they need a playoff system especially this year with no 2 teams seperating themselves from the pack...

In all the sports where there is a championship competition, the best team doesn't always end up being a champion, it's who plays best that day or that week is the champion, even if there is some sort of playoff system.

All could be well if he let's go of his coordinators. But sadly, there's a bigger chance that we land on Mars before Brown ever gets rid of Davis.

I like College football alot more than the NFL. More rivalries, better and louder crowds, and how the entire season is the playoff just makes it better. I like the tradition that comes with it as well.

Basically, it's whatever team is the hottest at the most perfect time. We've seen in it in past years with baseball and basketball as evidence.

Yeah so if your Kansas and you play one of the weaker schedules in America and your say LSU and you only lose 1 game with an absolutely brutal schedule you dont deserve in over a Kansas or someone like that?

I dont think so.

College football is the only team sport without a playoff.

Its absolutely stupid not to have one.

In a playoff system at least everyone then will be playing good teams to get to a championship instead of walking through cup cakes and getting there.

Yup, that is true. How many times have we've seen upsets? Too many times for sure.

 

[NickZepp]

I agree somewhat. IMO they need to dump the overtime format. If you want both teams to have a chance fine just make them kickoff. Starting at the 25 makes it too easy to just kick a FG.

They've needed to dump the OT rule for years. I would like to see it to where both teams have a chance. I think they need to change that in the NFL to where both teams have to get atleast 1 shot before going to sudden death. It happens that way most of the time anyway but I don't think a team should win the game just because they win an OT coin toss.

I agree with that. There should be a playoff in college football at the top level. There's a playoff at every other level of college football except in Div 1A or whatever it's called now.

Although I think there only needs to be an 8 team playoff.

what does this have to do with the price of cheese on the world market? Or for that matter our discussion of which is better, pro vs college? Probably not anyone in the forum thats played NFL ball either

not relevent at all

other than the atmosphere of the game, there is nothing about college that is better than the pros now...the game itself stinks and some of the rules are absolutely ********

Well by all means, let's just give the Pats the Lombardi trophy right now...

What's that?

You want the Cowboys to have a chance?

Well, then playoffs it is.

Im not a Texas fan but I truly feel sad for you guys.

All this is because of Vince Young though so just think its worth it because you got a National title.

Greg Davis needs to go badly though and its just to bad hes in so good with Mac Brown.

Your defensive coordinator needs to be peaced out as well.
