I enjoy watching NCAA more. I like it better than the NFL because on any given week a good team could be upset. Like we saw in week one when Michigan lost to Appalachian State. The NFL is more predictable, you know the Patriots are going to do well against whomever they play.
I am from Detroit, so I root for the Detroit teams. Lions and Michigan.

I personally like the NCAA. In the ncaa no one is a show off and no one is playing for money, so basically everyone is playing for the love of the game until some go to the NFL. Also i like to see upsets from small colleges taking out top teams. For example, Michigan and Appalachean State (spelling?). That was an upset and it was a game right down to the wire. The system of bowl rankings is a little iffy, but thats wat teams work for to become #1 in the country. My last reason i like the NCAA over the NFL is because we all know what the NFL stands for--- National FLAG League. There are so many flags its rediculous.
In the NCAA i mainly root for texas and rutgers. I don't know why for texas but when i was little i got a couple hats of them and i started following them. And the reason i like Rutgers is because i live like 15 minutes away from them and I have liked them even when they weren't very good. So no i am not a front runner.
In the NFL i root for the EAGLES. I have season tickets, tail gating is amazing, and the fans are awesome. Ive liked them forever. And as you know i live very close to Philadelphia too.

i like ncaa better. they both thave there goods and there bads. i like ncaa because there are a lot more teams and any great team can get upset at any week in time. the nfl is also great because there are more skilled players but most of the guys there are there for the money and not for the love of the sport like in the ncaa. the guys are alot of people with huge egos in the nfl such as terrel owens.also in the ncaa they are tuff. they stick it out because they want to play and you see guys in the nfl out for a few weeks because they jammed a finger
i am a sooner fan because they are the first team i have ever watched and i have been a faithful fan since i was 8 years old
i am also an eagles fan

I enjoy watching NCAA more because the a lot of the NFL players are in it for the money and have huge egos. They are no longer playing for the love of the game.
I root for the Texas A&M Aggies in NCAA or any other Big 12 team. In NFL, I root for Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, or Green Bay Packers.

NCAA, and not because of the heart, or they play for the right reason, or pageantry stuff. But because of the strategy. Virtually ALL of the NFL run the same stuff. Even the 3-4 or 4-3 defenses you see are very similar. Compare the teams that run with the teams that pass, and they're within 10-12% on the R/P ratio. The talent level and athleticism is so ballanced in the NFL that it makes it difficult (and almost to risky) to run anything else.
College on the otherhand, you'll always have the flavor of the months (ie the spread option) but you have pro-set teams (USC) Air Raid Teams (Louisville), Traditional Options (Service Academnies), Spread option (Florida), and a ton of variances on these. Defensively you have both traditional odd and even front teams, but you also have teams that run 30 stack (WVU) or always come out in NIckel. I love that the style makes the fight, that you get to see the differences in matchups with regards to what teams run. The NFL is like Heavyweight boxing, everyone has power so its a lot of clutching and grabbing, nobody has much more talent than anyone else (sorry but its true the difference between the Pats and the Falcons is not as much as you'd like to hype it to be). So yeah their is always a shot that anyone could win, but thats the same with flipping quarters; I love the NFL but give me NCAA.

NCAA. The college games are more exciting then a bunch of million Aries catching the ball and then going down so as not to get hit to hard and maybe loosing their endorsements. At the college games you got the kids and the bands and the electric in the air. It's out doors on a fall Saturday. The air is crisp, the band is playing the sun is shining. After the game go to the joint the band hangs out at. By ten oclock there will be fifteen are so band members with there instruments sitting in with the house band. Even the tuba player rocks. Only in America. I like Fla. Fla. State and The Miami Hurricane. In the No Fun League I like the Dolphins.

I like watching NCAA football better because:
1. I'm in college
2. I think it's a lot more interesting, (anyone can win... there's a lot of upsets)
3. I love the atmosphere at the games. I've been going to college games since I was about 10, and I'm seriously hooked.
I enjoy NFL too, but not nearly as much.
PS... Go Colts! Go Purdue!

NCAA by far. The traditions, the storied programs....it's all great entertainment.
I do watch a pro game every now and then, but I'm really sick of the egos, of holding out for a few extra million, of the blatant lawlessness that has been seen off the field lately and whining.
I'm all about THE Ohio State Buckeyes (don't mess with the vest).
When I watch a pro team I'll look in on the Browns or the Colts.

I enjoy them actually probably with the same amount of enthusiasm . I have rooted for Notre Dame in the NCAA and Green Bay in the NFL for over 40 years and I truly believe if I am a true fan of these teams then I will stick to them through thick and thin.

i like watching ncaa because every week means something to contenders for the national championship. A team loses in the nfl, no big deal. however a team loses in the ncaa, you could drop out of bcs contention. ncaa games just have more at stake so the games seem to be more exciting to me.
