The only thing wide open about college football is the offensive playbooks (spread/option/flex/wishbone).

To say that college football is this wide open scorefest is absurd. The bottom line is that the average college WR will beat the 4th/5th best coverage man on an average team. Teams who consistently put 4-5 WR's or 3WR/2HB on the field to exploit mismatches are the ones who put up the most points.

The only difference between the NFL and NCAA games should be the quality of depth on the defensive side of the ball and play variety.

To be honest, the only thing wide open about NCAA 09 was the lack of pursuit angles and ridiculous speed curve. Neither is realistic and both need to be fixed.

Don't give credit where it isn't due. "Wide open gameplay" is like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.
