Okay....

There's more games in college. What's the ratio of great finished vs games on TV?

You're changing the debate

 

[CrimsonTider]

to me it's more than blowouts. Like that Broncos/Lions game last night was boring for almost the entire 1st half.

People talk about the QB play in the NFL is so great, but there's really only about 10 that are worty of that discussion

The prime time CFB games were ALL boring.

I was a nfl fan way before I got into Cfb but the past few years the nfl has kinda bored me. They'res not that many great qb's the product to me isn't as good as it used to be. A lot of the games are badly played. The atmosphere isn't nearly as good as it used to be because hardcore fans are getting priced out

The only thing that keeps me really interested in the nfl these days is gambling

I mean the only QBs I enjoy watching are Rodgers, Brady, and Ryan (I'm a Falcons fan). Games are boring for the most part, too many damn commercials (fan duel & draft kings) and too much extra shyt

Texas A&M/Arkansas was not boring breh

the games on Fox/ABC were indeed not-competitive. But hey, it's Arizona...they'e STILL Arizona

But more often than not, those games are not boring.

However, it seems like every week MNF is TRASH. I have to go back a decade to remember MNF games that were consistently good week to week.


And 90% of the SNF games are trash as well.


Dudes are just watching out of habit b/c...."it's the NFL"

team scores TD/XP....goes to commercial.

Come back from commercial....QB/offense runs out towards field.....goes to commercial again. Run 1 play, next play coach doesnt like something calls TO.....goes to commercial again

Okay....

No.. all you have to do is call DTV and threaten to cancel and you get it for free

 

[Silkk]

it means it's alot of talk/hype, but doesn't really have the goods.

People act like the NFL is just non-stop incredible can't miss action, but 90% of the games every week are boring.

To me its boring until the last few weeks, teams be losing 7-8 games and still making the playoffs. There's no consequences for L's

Yeah, the regular season in CFB is like a playoff itself, losing more than 1 game kills the season.

 

[Silkk]

TCU/TT had no defense but was still a crazy good game.

UF/TENN was dope

Texas/OKST was probably game of the weekend to me

You can track the popularity surge of cfb the past several years. ESPNU having 2-3hr daily shows for cfb, Paul Finebaum show & the SEC Network(regardless of bball etc, football powers the SEC Net), ESPN College Football Live being YEAR ROUND show, the recruiting shows.....and that's just a few. None of this was around 10 years ago.

The biggest indicator is the national primetime games every week on ABC and Fox. Sat nights on ABC used to be made for TV or Disney movies....and on Fox it was COPS and whatever else

Plus I know they'res a lot of bad qb play in college too and both college and the pro game are built around the qb but it can be worked around a little with some gimmick play calling and pace

Yesterday trying to watch these nfl games with a bunch of backups because of all the qb injuries the games were literally unwatchable

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Why are people even trying to compare NFL vs. NCAA They are two TOTALLY different styles of football at this point
