College Football vs NFL

The NFL has had its good seasons, but this year it has let me down. Where is the drama? Where is the excitement? No arch rivals since Tom Brady is out. The Titans are the most boring undefeated team I've ever seen. There are no super stars on that Tennessee Team. If it had been Vince Young leading the glorious charge, things would be different.

This year college football has had it all. Dramatic one second losses by the Texas Longhorns. Upsets of USC by Oregon State. Even Penn State who everyone thought was sure to go undefeated the rest of the way got smacked upside the head by the Iowa Hawkeyes. Not to mention the Bayou Battle and Red River Shootout were probably the best rivalry games ever. I don't know if College Football is just bigger in the south, but it sure feels like it. Especially this year with all the commotion in the SEC and Big 12. I'll bet northern teams are wondering if they've been forgotten.

Maybe northerners like their NFL over college football because they've never tried it out. Try it, I guarantee you'll like it! Especially this year with all the BCS controversy and big upsets. Plus your never going to see players like Tim Tebow or Graham Harrell for a while. Quarterbacks like them plus Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford who will be back next year, are sure fun to watch. I'm not sure if Tebow will come back or go pro, it probably depends on whether he win another National Championship or not.

In the NFL players are paid whether they are injured or play an MVP style season. Because of this, I think until the playoffs they don't even come close to playing with the kind of heart that college players give on a regular basis. Nothing is really "on the line" for pro players until playoffs are within reach. Plus if they've already won a couple Super Bowls like the Patriots, what more are they trying to prove? If they have a five year contract they really don't have to worry about how good they do until they are about to be a free agent. You just rarely see the kind of Texas vs Texas Tech type of games during the regular season where both teams are absolutely dedicated to winning. Where one second meant the difference between being undefeated and being knocked out of National Championship certainty. Personally, I like the BCS controversy, it makes the sport that much more interesting.
