8. The NFL has better ball games.

Better in what way?

Off the top of my head: more talented players at nearly every position; more advanced systems, schemes, and play calling; playoffs.

College ball does have the advantage of more intense rivalries (OSU-Michigan), but that’s due to the NFL’s team realignment in 2002. Even with that, it’s hard to beat some NFL rivalries: Dolphins-Jets, Patriots-Colts, Eagles-Giants, and Bills-Winning to name some. (Cowboys-49ers used to be damn good.)

Easily in the postseason.

I love college football. The tradition, rivalries, and the use of the option (and other non-traditional playcalling) is great. The Fiesta Bowl last year might have been my favorite football game ever from a non-rooting standpoint, on any level. But it has quite possibly the worst postseason in all of sports on any level. And let me rephrase, not college football, but Division 1 college football. The other divisions grew a brain and adpoted a playoff. The current system is the ultimate screwjob to any non-big conference school.
