Harder to win - National Title or Superbowl?

[Tovarich]

Well, you (in theory) you have a 1 in 32 chance in the NFL. Most college teams inherently have zero chance-see Tulane (1998?). You don't have to perfect to win it, so I don't think that's a good argument. We just had a 2 loss champion 2 years ago, and haven't had an undefeated one since 2005 I think.

I'll vote harder in the NFL. The gap in talent from the worst team to the best is nowhere close to what it is in college(even the 0-16 Lions were very competitive in several games with winning teams). More games, more injuries, more level talent in the opposing roster. Interesting debate, lots of arguments for both, I'd lean toward the NFL though. A team won their first 18 games and didn't win the Super Bowl...

A National Title is easier to win because it's not sanctioned.

If you can find someone willing to give you one, hell, go ahead and grab it.

The Super Bowl. I don't see how it's even close to be honest. In College, you only have about 10 teams that have a legit shot at the NC year in and year out. In the NFL, any given team can go all the way. We saw that last year with the Cards, albeit they didn't win but they got there. The talent level in the NFL is FAR more close than it is in College. You have a lot more parity in the NFL than you do in College. Schedules in the NFL, year in and year out, are a lot tougher than they are in College. In the NCAA, you might play 1-2 teams throughout the year that are as good as you are. But in the NFL, you're playing teams every single week that can legitimately beat you. It's a lot harder in the NFL. That's why sometimes you see players that were stars in College, get drafted and can't play in the NFL and get cut or are backups or w/e. That's why in the NFL you don't see 62-3 blowouts like you see on a regular basis in the NCAA. And that's why you don't see undefeated, or 1 loss NFL teams every year like you see in College. It's just a lot harder. And you have to fight through the regular season, just to get to the Playoffs, and then you have to fight through the Playoffs against teams that are about equally as good as you, to get to the Super Bowl.

Good points, the NFL is the more competitive IMO (any given sunday) but on Saturday who gave Navy a hope in hell of beating Ohio State and what a storyline it would be if the Buckeyes went on to beat USC.
What percentage of players actually make it as a starter in the NFL from College Football? My guess is 40%?
Are the quarterbacks drafted in later rounds more successful than those in the earlier rounds? Peyton Manning - Tom Brady?

Probably 1% at most

No and entertaining that thought is absolutely ridiculous

Easily a national championship.

9-7 Arizona came within 35 seconds of a Super Bowl while 2004 Auburn and 2008 Utah capped their perfect seasons with exhibition wins in the Sugar Bowl.

NFL. Every team in the NFL has talent. There aren't any New Mexico State's or Temple's. To win the Super Bowl, you have to get lucky, have GREAT coaching, play in atleast 19 games with a roster of 30+ less players than the NCAA. You also have to deal with ego's, contracts, etc.


You also have to be able to draft correctly(shout out to Tampa Bay 1st round 2009) and trade correctly.

As mentioned, zero losses won't get you the title in college. You can be like the Cards last year & win the SB. 4. You're always rebuilding in college. The pros gives you a chance to gain stability.

This.
