College football involves so much more than just two teams squaring off on the gridiron. The college game is flavored by diverse regional cultures that the plastic NFL can't come close to. Each school has its own heroes, its own great games its own golden eras. The NFL has franchises like McDonald's. College football has campuses and hangouts and ties that cross generations. They play college football in Canyon, Texas, Starkville, Mississippi, Corvallis, Oregon and Hanover, New Hampshire. The NFL has hooker cheerleaders, and teams that can move from Baltimore to Indianapolis or from Houston to Nashville whenever the owner gets into a snit. The college game has real natural rivalries that inspire passions. There is always a surprise in the college ranks, a new hot team. There is always an interesting story in college football that can be discovered or rediscovered. If playoffs are the great selling point for the NFL then I'm not buying. The WNBA has a playoff system, too, big friggin' deal. I hope college football never gets a playoff system and comes to look like the NFL. I love it the way it is.
