But the op is right in saying college has more offense. No question imo.

Well Said. I agree completly

The nation champion the last 4 years has scored 38 points or more. The Big 10 averaged 26.3 points per game in conference matchups in 2007. That's still far greater than the NFL's 21.7 average no matter how you spin it.

Sure some of these high scoring teams can hang 50 on FIU, but what about against other teams just as good or better than them. There have been plenty of college games and even natl title games that have been defensive battles. You are comparing a 30 team NFL league with a 120 team NCAA. Of course the numbers are going to be skewed. You also could take 40 NCAA teams and also make the case that college is a defensive based game.

Bowl games WVU vs. Oklahoma WVU scored 48

GA vs. Hawaii GA 41

USC vs. Illinois

USC 49

LSU 38 against Ohio St. in the national championship and Giants 17 against the Pats in the superbowl

I agree with Rudy... especially the bold-underlined statement.

There is bugs as there is with every game.

1.QB's too accurate
2.not enough dropped balls
3.When I get pressure on the QB it doesn't effect him much
4.Kick returns
5.When i hit the QB it doesn't effect the pass


Those are my main concerns but it doesn't hinder the game like everyone says

Are college games, in general, higher scoring? Well of course. You are dealing with a much wider gap in talent.

In reality, there are more Central Michigan's and North Texas's then there are LSU's Florida's and USC's

You dont see 45-10 scores very often when teams in the top half of the top 25 play each other.

I'd even go so far as to say, that there really isnt much difference between the team ranked 15-25, and the top 4 or 5 teams in the "Also recieving votes" section.

I agree college is more offensive-based than the pros, but you can't get a decent defensive battle in this game.

Anyone remember a few years ago when #2 Texas played at #4 Ohio St.? Ohio St. kept Texas in check for most of the game...it was a low scoring affair with Texas winning 25-22.

If you put these two teams together now with those same players from then, I can guarantee you the score will be close to 50 points for each team with this year's wide-open gameplay. I just feel they have given the offense TOO MUCH reign this year.

I've had low scoring games 13-7 and etc.. you need a good defensive team and a good gameplan to do so though
