At least with the NFL, a bad game like Jets-Raiders can still hold my attention longer. Besides, in college football, if your team loses more than once, your championship aspirations are already over - & that could be in September.
I'm a big believer in a Sweet 16 run from Thanksgiving until Christmas with the Championship Game being played on New Years Day.
What is it about a 6-0 Raiders/Jets game in the 4th quarter that can hold your attention when you have no affiliation to either city?
I get the argument can be reversed and the same can be said for two colleges playing each other that you didn't attend - but for me it's the pageantry/atmosphere - and the game being played on a smaller scale so to speak where the players aren't being paid money (well - 99% of them I'd hope) and a majority of them know they won't make it to the next level and are playing for pride, the university, themselves.
