And any game involving the jags will be better?

I hear you and every year there is one team, maybe two in the NFL that will not be competitive. That is dwarfed by the number of laughers played by top 25 teams in NCAA.

Just look at the lines, how many of them each week are in the high 20's, 30's and even 40's? You telling me you go into a Bama Vs Western Kentucky on the edge of your seat fearing an upset? Come on......

there is also 4x as many teams in FBS than the NFL. a lot of schools fighting over the same players.

look at the Browns.....they are an NFL team and have horrible for how long? they have failed horribly year after year after year at finding a QB.

if you are a Browns fan, it is the same thing as going to a NCAA game that is supposed to be a blowout. you know your team sucks or you know what the outcome will probably be, but you go anyway and support your team and have a good time.

If given the chance to go to a Tarheels game or a Panthers game......I choose the Tarheels. The atmosphere, the band, the tailgating, the campus, etc. All far better than most NFL experiences

Better environment, more exciting, more variety, better fan involvement etc.

I like the NFL a lot too. NCAA is just better and more fun to watch. Unlike you, it's not all or nothing for me, and I don't think the nfl sucks.

Yes, but you seem to be missing my point. There are games/teams like that every year in the NFL, but it's dwarfed by the number of meaningless games in the NCAA.

Again, in Bama's NC run last year how many games were really a contest going into them? You had to go to week 9 before a legitimate shot to lose a game shows up. 9 WEEKS into the season. After that they played only two more meaningful games (losing one) before landing in the title game. A total of 4 real games all season. That's exciting? No way, that is boring as shit.

Bama is just one example. Nearly every top 25 team schedules 6-8 cupcakes a year. You simply can't tell me when Bama's schedule came out people were waiting with incredible anticipation not know what would happen those first 8 games.
