Of course it is; however, break out the NFL from the NCAA and I think you'll see that college is much more popular than the NFL.

Games are too long, officiating is lousy, the anthem thing, every single offense in the NFL looks the same, etc...

I think you'd be incredibly surprised.

You're probably right, but I am proud to say that I did not watch a single NFL game this year. The product is lousy, boring and the whole anthem thing was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

Love college football, however the targeting replays are becoming bothersome. While a good rule in theory, I think enforcement of the rule has gone off the deep end.

On another note, I will be watching some form of basketball tonight or reading. I will not be watching the NCAA football consolation game. Not sure why they are even playing a consolation game unless it's for charity.

Replay is killing both college and pro football. Should only be used on scoring plays.

A college BB game last 2 hours. Not 4 hours like football does these days.

Yes...and college basketball too. That **** is getting damn near unwatchable because of all of the stoppages.

Yet, college basketball's national championship game has gotten better ratings than football for the last several years. Things that make you go hmmm...

With the exception of Nashville and Tampa, southern expansion and relocation was fools gold and they knew better.
