Thank God for these two men and thank God I was listening today! They saved me from bothering to watch an entire college football season. I now know that no matter what happens Alabama is the real national champion regardless of whether they have 3 losses and Ohio State or Texas has but one or even none. According to these football experts, if Alabama doesn't earn the right to play in the championship game, "everybody" knows they are still the best team and the real champion. Now I know it too. Thanks, guys!

college football is so fucking sleazy, it might actually be entertaining. not the games, just the drama around it. I might have to start paying attention.

For those of you who prefer pro football, what is it that makes it better than college football for you? I assume the speed and skill of the players is part of it, but pretty much all pros play in college. Is it just watching the best vs. the best or is it something else?

I might be opening a can of worms here but if someone doesn't like college football then they aren't a football fan.

what if you're a college football fan, but don't attend any games?

I'm a fan of the band Television. While Marquee Moon is undoubtedly a post-punk masterpiece, Adventure is highly overlooked.

College football off season scandal: Quarterback from a rich family signs autographs and may have gotten some money for them.
NFL off season scandal: A player kills another person and is seemingly the head of or involved in a criminal organization and is now being linked to other murders and massive amounts of drug use and possible distribution.

There is something seriously wrong with thinking that the NFL is any less sleazy than college.

You're citing two players, one of which is now rumored to be involved in drugs and a drive by in college that his coach covered up.

It's not the players that people think are sleazy, it's the NCAA and their rules and regulations.

How about the NFL pressuring ESPN to drop out of the Frontline documentary, the NFL hiring quacks to muddy the waters on concussions or flat out lie about them, the NFL being involved in the ludicrous "heads up tackling" campaign, the lengths they and the owners go to abuse local municipalities for stadium deals, and many other things would indicate that the NFL is just as sleazy.

second year in a row for that, by the way, after Hurd's entrepreneurial wings were clipped the year before

The funny thing is by adding in a "playoff" that you take down the chances by a good margin that the "best team" will win.

As I've said all along, Dan Bernstein should absolutely love the BCS for the exact same reasons he hates the NCAA basketball tournament.

This could go on all day.

Abusing non-profit status.
Profiting off breast cancer "awareness".
Punishing Terrelle Pryor for things that happened in college but not punishing Pete Carroll or Chip Kelly.
Fighting hard against sports gambling in New Jersey while not fighting it's broadcast partners from hosting direct payment sports gambling leagues.

Sounds like watching the NFL is the perfect way to avoid sleaziness.

No one is saying the NFL avoids sleaziness. You're fabricating that.
