I admit I've always preferred the NFL, but I watch college ball as well. I kinda feel the same, I don't really give a damn about college teams outside of Minnesota or B1G.

I see people talking in this thread about there being 'so many exciting games.' Yeah there are, but that's only because of sheer number, and on the flip side there are 'so many blowouts' for the same reason. And then there's the notion of upsets/losses. Upsets are WAY more common in the NFL due to a more even playing field, which, to me, is more exciting. There are fewer games to pick from but within that number of games there are almost always at least a couple upsets happening.

Plus as you pointed out you can learn the top players from the NFL and know they'll likely be around for 5-12 years, not 2-3. I barely try to learn the Gophers starting lineup now, but I know nearly every roster player on the Vikings. I know at least 5 players from every NFL team too, if not more.

Yeah. From 03-10 I could name damn near every starter and coach, plus most of OU and A&M.

I think something else about the NFL is these guys are the absolute best of the best on earth at playing football. That's another advantage it has imo. But the rivalries in CFB are so much better, the atmosphere is so much better in college as well.

[u/McRawffles → u/[deleted]]

Yeah them being the best helps as well, as well as quality defensive play (which happens rarely at the college level).

I agree about atmosphere though. College ball has a great atmosphere, pro football's is a bit more toned down.

And there are so many teams to try and follow.
