    Football is something else when everyone is playing their guts out. I don't give a shit about any nfl teams, but today I thought and cared. I didn't really care who won but I got excited anyways. Those were some good games.

    The NFL OT rules are shit as fuck. They gotta clean that part up.

    The NFL OT rules are designed like they are because of TV rights. It’s going to be extremely difficult to change the OT rules in the regular season, but during the playoffs, I think there should be much more flexibility.

    CFB used to be a more passionate game than the NFL. It's the other way around now.

    Watching the same 3-5 CFB programs duke it out every year is just a total fail.

    I used exude an attitude of cultural superiority/snobbery to NFL (first) fans. Years on a gay ass, Blue Friday, when everyone would wear a Hawks jersey to work, I had on the UW purple and gold rep tie.

    But I just don't have it anymore. The pride has been beaten out of me.

    College football used to be set apart from the NFL. More passion and tradition. More fun. Especially away games. Now everything that made it different has been tossed.

    The Bengals didn't cry about the OT rules. They won anyway

    I'm sure they would have, had the Chiefs scored a TD. It's stupid to bash it. Everyone except for Donovan McNabb understands the OT rules, so in that sense, it's a level playing field.

    The NFL just had the best ever playoffs and 2nd place isnt close. This is recency bias

    College football regular season is still far superior. The Playoffs suck donkey cock though. Need to have at minimum an 8 team playoff

    NFL >>> College Football. There - I said it.

    It’s a fair. It’s honest.

    You know it's sad, but true.

    Yes, regular season of college football is still supreme. But it's not recency bias when it comes to the playoffs -- NFL has been better than college since the first couple years the colleges instituted them. They either need to open the floodgates with a true tournament and scrap the bowls altogether or they need to go back to the way things were in olden times. Maybe have the top 2 play off for the national title after the bowls ... but right now, the college football postseason is a joke.
