Which is tastier, Pork or Chicken?

Seriously though, NFL has better average skill on the field.

I prefer college because of the number of teams and different characters between schools and programs, not to mention all the great traditions at game day. And don't forget dem Rivalries!

The rivalries and traditions make the college game more exciting to me.

College football hands down. Emotional energy of young athletes, usually non-paid (!), fueled by fans connected to them directly (students or alumni) equals a better game. NFL athletes are better, but not as fun to watch.

I don't see it this way. NFL players give their all and it shows in the price their bodies pay.

Why is an alum more connected to a school than someone who has lived in a city their whole lives? Unless you played on the football team I don't see that big of a difference.

Talent level is way better in the NFL, and for every 1 great college matchup, you have a lopsided crapfest between two schools that aren't even close to on the same talent level.

I went with NFL, I think college ball lost something, can't put my finger on it but just not the same. I've been watching certain teams for years and it is just different, not as exciting.
