    College football is so popular because in many places where there is not professional team (usually rural states with small populations) it is the closest thing to NFL and the traditions of rivalries go back longer than the NFL. Some of these teams have been playing against each other for over 100 years and they are in the same states or bordering states. You see this with rivalries like Michigan v Michigan State, or Alabama v Georgia, or Tennessee v Alabama, or Harvard v Yale. It is the history that builds these games into historic events.

      Also, college football games are MUCH more emotion driven... you'll see lots more ups and downs during a single game and you'll see more 'miracle' plays. Plus, college players are really good players but they aren't perfect. NFL players are considered the cream of the crop so you expect them to make good plays all the time. In college ball, there's a good chance that someone will make a mistake or not do the optimal thing so you get very exciting plays.
      And yeah, there's tradition. The entire state of Alabama pretty much shuts down on Alabama vs Auburn game day. I've gone to the grocery store when the game was on and literally saw 3 people there including a cashier. When I moved to Alabama, the first day on the job as I was meeting coworkers, several of them asked if I was a fan of Alabama or Auburn. It's that big of a deal.

    4:15 No such thing as a 'free kick' in AF and it's not the only kick of the game. Alabama is attempting a Field Goal to win the game. This is one of the greatest plays in the history of college football. It's a derby between Alabama and Auburn, which located in Alabama also. Alabama's the big dog, Auburn considered a little dog. As long as the ball is in play before the clock hits zero, the play continues until the ball is ruled dead.

    It doesnt matter if there's no time on the clock. As long as the play is live at the time and the player isn't brought down or pushed out of bounds, the play can continue. Also bonus fact: if there is an "untimed down" which is where the clock is at 0 before the ball is snapped, then the team can still start a play even with time having been run out but this only happens due to a penalty from a previous play on the other team and so on. Its confusing but you'll get it some day 🙏

    The NFL is bigger financially, but college football is far older and therefore has more traditions surrounding it. Plus there are vastly more colleges with football teams than the 32 NFL teams, more likely a college team is near your hometown than an NFL team. Also the game does not end until the conclusion of the play, as long as they keep the play going, the game will continue with zero time left and any points scored will count.

    College football is big for two reasons. One, there are college towns all over the country not just in a few large cities. So even if you’re from a small town there is a team nearby with a big college program that you can support. Two, college football predates pro football by half a century. Many of the rivalries were already established between colleges well before there was an NFL.

    • @majkus
      @majkus 10 місяців тому +2

      Good points! And also, I think, pro teams often move around and sometimes trade players-some of the changing of cities involves hard feelings about extorting a city to build the pro team a stadium ("Go, Raiders! And Don't Come Back!"). Heck, Manchester United and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are owned by the same billionaire family. So usually, an NFL team (exception: see Green Bay Packers) cannot generate the same 'patriotic' sentiment as a college. The players at colleges, in contrast, are students, and represent the students on the field (along with the band and spirit squad/cheerleaders/yell leaders, for which the NFL does not really have an equivalent, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders notwithstanding-they do not lead the rooters in cheers). Add in local residents, and alumni spread across the country, and it's not hard to understand the fervor for these games.

    The play at 13:45 is instructive: the goal is scored when the ball passes the 'plane of the goal line' (if the carrier hasn't hit the ground first), and that's why he held the ball out in front of him. His feet do not have to cross the goal line.

    The game clock can hit 0:00 and the play continues until it ends

    TV rating NFL dominates everything else by far, but college does have a large market due to a lot of people being able to identify with the school because they went there. Like there is this sense of "Im actually a part of this team" that you cant really get in most other leagues. Also there are a lot of alums who want where they came from to be the best, so they donate millions and millions of dollars to try and get an edge over other teams.

    College football is significantly more regional and because the season is shorter and playoffs are smaller (4 teams out of 130ish compared to 14 in the NFL out of 32) each game has a much more significant impact on your postseason chances. And because you're dealing with kids there's a big level of unpredictability involved. You'll have major upsets that can entirely change the landscape of your season. But as someone pointed out, if you wanna see how big these kids can get check out Jordan Davis from UGA. 6'6" and 341 lbs (198cm and 154kg/24 stone) and runs as fast as a lot of quarterbacks.

    So something I haven't seen mentioned if you look to the left of some team names you'll see a number ranging from 1-25. In college football judges vote on which schools are the 25 best. This changes week to week on wins and loses. So teams with numbers have a lot to lose since if they lose they will drop in rankings so a lot of miracles are them saving themselves or a worse team has a miracle defeating them. Like number 1 should be the best team and if an unranked team beats them it's an insane upset (these ranking matter because the top 4 face in a playoff and the ranking is big for status so pride is on the line) (there are 130 "division 1" college football teams so being top 25 is a big deal)

    In answer to your question, in football during the kick when the receiver wound up running it all the way back for a touchdown on 0.01 minutes left on the clock is because of the fact that once the play is going whatever happens in the play until it is over ( the ball is downed) the game is not done until the play is done in other words somebody made a touchdown somebody wound tackling the guy with the football. Stuff like that is what actually stops the clock even if they've run out of time that can go farther because if the play is in process. It does not stop immediately, it's not like basketball that way.

    There are more college teams than the NFL--hundreds of college teams (maybe 1,000 or more, even), and they are attended by the students of the college (age 18-22) and other supporters---(and the players are students, too). So the students study all week then on Saturday they go crazy before, during and after the games, recovering on Sunday, starting to study and then attend classes again on Monday. It is fun as hell. These players are typically full grown men, or they are by the time they are 22, and then some of them are good enough to be drafted by the NFL to play (the Draft is held each year in April, after the NFL season and is a really BIG deal, here, because that is how you build your NFL team, with college talent--as well as trades, etc. with other teams).

    Yes the Kick Six was the most dramatic win of a football game in NCAA history. The Auburn/Alabama rivalry is probably the most intense in the country. The field goal is attempted at 1 second, but the game is not over until that play is over, so it can technically go a few seconds longer than the game. The ball did not go through the uprights, so the defending team could catch it before it hit the ground and run the ball back.

    I mean to me, why I watch College Football instead of NFL is because in College you are seeing these kids play for nothing but the love of the sport and a chance to make it to the pros. On top of that a lot of the College programs have a century or more of heritage. Whereas with the NFL they play for money. Plain and simple. So there's a lot more heart in College football.
    I'm a University of Michigan fan and our program is 143 years old last I checked. Considering our very state is only 185 years old there's no wonder the tradition maintains a big audience.

    College football is the greatest sport experience on the planet. Many of these monster stadiums with over 100,000 seating capacity are in towns with a population of 50,000.
    As of 2 years ago and after a law suit that went to the US Supreme Court, the players are now being paid. Not by the Universities though. The universities give them a full scholarship, and room and board . Players are allowed to sign endorsement deals. The university of Alabama's quarterback had $3 million in endorsements before he even played a single play at18 years old.

    You should watch the greatest kick returns of all time! I feel like you would enjoy it! For context the game starts with one team kicking the ball across the field to the opposing team. Kickoffs are also done after every score and the start of the second half. A team can also punt the ball. If they don't feel they will make the 10 yards in 4 downs they can punt the ball across the field. That increases the distance the other team has to go to score a goal. Both of those are considered returns and make for some truly memorable plays!

    Also with college, there are 50 states in America, a lot of these colleges have about 95 percent of their kids come from their hometown state. These kids are representing their states similar to if in Europe if you have a college game between England and Germany with the stakes and the magnitude of a World Cup on the line.
    Also these colleges are over 100 years old and their alumni donates toward building the best facilities so there is a lot of money on the line here too, billions in total

    The NFL is full of players that are traded back and forth and so the fans have allegiance to the name (think Rollerball). In college football, you or someone you know, may have gone to that college. So there is a more visceral connection since the players will be there for at most 5 years (redshirt) then a SMALL percentage go to the NFL.

      In ancient Rome, the Games in the colosseum were chariot races before the blood sport became popular. The racers were on one of four teams (reds, whites, greens, blues). Some of the drivers were among the highest-paid athletes in history, if their memorials are to be believed. But they switched teams frequently. In the Romans' case, the fanatic loyalty was still to the team-these early Italians invented the sports riot, taking the fan disputes to the streets if the wrong team won-not the driver. So they would cheer Diocles (a hugely successful driver who drove for the Whites, Greens, and Reds, but not the Blues) one month, and then boo him a couple of months later. Diocles was amazing. He even won races where his role was supposed to be running interference for another team member to win.
      I have long suspected that a Roman brought to our world would understand college football and the crowd behavior very well, even if they didn't grasp the rules.

    Your average football team varies for example you roster set in the NFL is 56 players, in American football positions are very specialized, and depth is key. So certain positions like QB or Kicker are about 2 to 3 per team, while for example each team have squads that have certain tasks like for example a squad for Offensive plays and squad for Defensive plays and them there are special teams that you'll see in kick offs or field goal attempts or punts

  • @joshwebster3816
    @joshwebster3816 2 місяці тому

    The main reason you will find college to be more popular is due to the fact most people in the states attend these universities. So they have a personal connection to the squad because the went to the institution. As opposed to cheering for your "home team". So when people graduate and move all around the country they still tune in on Saturdays to watch "their" team. We are born into cities and fan bases for pro sports. People choose where they go to school. And a lot of people have generations of people who have attended the school. So there is a generational thing to it as well. And lastly. Before recently. It was amateur. They didn't get paid and it wasn't a "job" for them. They wanted to win no matter what. The same cannot be said for the pros. For a lot of them it's just a job and they actually don't enjoy it. Just a couple of reasons. I personally only cheer for pro teams that have guys from my school on them. Otherwise I only watch college sports.

  • @vincentdarrah

    The reason college football is more popular than the NFL is because of the owners running the NFL. For a long time it was said that NFL stood for No Fun League. They would hit you with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the slightest celebration after a touchdown. Also there are far more games to watch in college football

    You don't realize how large these kids are. Just look at Georgia's football roster last year. They can get paid now, but that only started last year. They don't get paid from the school but from endorsement deals now. College Stadiums are larger than NFL stadiums as well. The SEC is the best college football conference. You should watch the Alabama, Georgia National Championship Highlights from last year.

    In the NFL you can only have a roster of 53 players. 11 offensive starters and 11 defensive starts plus the backups. In college most teams will have about 80-100 players, most of who wont ever get to play unless injuries happen. College players used to not be allowed to get payed but recently the supreme court ruled it was illegal to do that so now players can use likeness and image for sponsorships and etc. The schools can't pay them directly so its usually local businesses that pay guys to post on IG/Twitter or whatever. At the the big time schools like Alabama, Ohio State or USC some of the best players who are pretty much locks to make the NFL are making millions a year off their sponsorships. Some guys even get Bentleys, G Wagons and etc just for being on the team. Local car dealerships make deals with them where they give them a car and the player just post that x dealership gave them it and etc.

    @ 2:21 ~ Okay, so, I'll clear this up a little bit. Yes, College Football is more popular than the nfl.
    However, the nfl gets higher ratings. Take a couple of things into consideration, though. nfl has 32
    teams across the country, so divided into games that is 16 per week. So more viewers per game.
    College Football on the other hand, has larger stadiums and bigger fan following per team. Many
    of the fan bases are of local Home Town crowds, but also make up people who attended those
    universities during their College Days.
    As well, when a kid goes to one of these programs, it's a big deal, as he gets a fully paid scholarship
    to play, including room and board, plus training and meals. The families of these players are very
    enthusiastic for their children/grand children/nephews what have you.
    On top of that, you may have High School football followings continuing to support these kids as
    they move on to the next level. Imagine watching one of your High School buddies scoring a TD
    on national TV.

    Think of it like this.
    The teams in the UCL are the only “pro” teams available. If you’re lucky enough to live in London, Manchester, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, etc you have a team to root for. What about the rest of the continent of Europe?
    That’s a big part of why college is so big here. There are 32 NFL teams in 50 states. You can do that math😂 not everybody has a team in their state, and if they do, it’s often not in their city. The closest NFL team in my state is 3 hours away, while I can be at a college stadium of 100,000+ seats in 15 minutes.

    Lewis, you asked about whether or not college players get paid. No they most certainly DO NOT. Remember they are students first and athletes second. Some schools will even bench a player if their GPA (grade point average) falls below a certain level; I suppose it's an incentive to do well. Keep in mind, IF they make it to the NFL, careers will go about 20 years. After that, you have to rely on what your major was in college for the rest of your adult life. Some of the former players become commentators, but really that's a small number.
