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.

[@paulagardner3218]

Everything he said PLUS there are 130 Division 1 college footballs teams and only 32 NFL teams. To put it another way, 60-ish college games every week versus 16 NFL games. College football gets more viewers based partly on those numbers.

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.

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.

[@crypt_yt9328]

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 🙏

Clock management is super important in football. Also look into Football playbooks. The offensive coordinator (coach calling plays to score) and defensive coordinator (guy calling plays to stop other team from scoring) are playing some mind numbing 4D chess. It’s insane.

[@Darmesis]

To an outsider, Gridiron seems like a very simple catch/run/smash game, but it is a very complicated, rule-heavy game. Maybe the most intellectual (versus “skill vs. skill”) team game on the planet. The players are _highly_ specialized in their roles and they are expected to know and execute a complicated game plan that changes with every play. 👍🏈

[@Play3r21]

to answer your question at 2:25 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.

[@ianprchlik3956]

college has bigger stadiums and more passionate fans because it’s been around longer and people care a ton about where they went to school. it’s almost like your family has a tradition with where you live/went to school. plus there are 4 times as many teams (130 vs 30 nfl teams)

[@crazydrummer181]

And that’s only in that division. There’s sooo many more colleges than that.

[@insertcolorherehawk3761]

(It's closer to 270 in D1 for football

[@christophermckinney3924]

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]

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.

[@gavinfichter1798]

To answer your questions: Touchdowns are worth 6 points and the extra point kick afterwards is 1 Normal field goals are worth 3 points The game clock can hit 0:00 and the play continues until it ends What makes them miracles is the improbability of them and some of these are huge underdog wins. (The Penn State one Penn State beat the second best team in the country as an unranked team) Each team has 52 players College football isn't more watched than the NFL (although it is better) However the fans of college football are fanatical, some universities have a cult like following.

[@Surreal_things_007]

Like you said, College football is also where these kids(technically adults) go to make it to the NFL, so it makes them want to play with more intensity, emotion, and heart.

[@christophermckinney3924]

A touch down is 6 points A conversion is 1 point for a kick or two points if you run it into the end zone A field goal is 3 points A safety is 2 points.

[@majkus]

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.

[@misterwednesday]

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.

2:03 I was at this game sitting at almost the exact angle that the camera is sitting at. I legit thought the stadium was going to collapse as it was literally shaking from the crowds eruption. It was one of the most terrifying and surreal moments of my life (in the greatest way possible). Everyone was going crazy around me. Also crazier to think that this wasn't even the craziest game they played that season as the kick 6 they show later in the video against Alabama was literally the next game they played the following Saturday. Insanity.

[@anandamide8991]

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.

[@lngsrp4612]

Your comment at about 3:50 is spot on. Context is incredibly important in all of these clips. Without that, it doesnt have the same impact.

[@veronicatoothpaste8576]

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)

[@Freshy_Jones]

The gators Hail Mary bomb was the best play by far, that’s why it’s on the cover photo.

[@d.wayneharbison8691]

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.

[@richiebenfrankz2834]

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

[@stischer47]

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.

[@majkus]

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.

[@Alex.Kaleipahula]

Because major colleges have thousands of students enrolled and everyone whoever went to that college is a fan alumni, Plus they see the football players around campus and have classes with them so it’s like supporting your friends because most colleges you interact with players I went to the University of Hawaii and I had football players in half my classes at least

[@user-sv4mh3oi2n]

The tick that got returned for a touchdown was an incredible play I've never seen it before or since but the kick never hit the ground he caught it inbounds inside of the end zone and returned it completely through the field for the touchdown and you're right when the clock has zero until whoever has the ball is tackled or there's a penalty the game doesn't end unless somebody scores the someone is tackled with the ball or there's a penalty it is known by every single college football fan as the kick 6 because it was a field goal kick that got caught and returned for a touchdown which is 6 points it was Auburn against Alabama is a great game!

[@ufgatorbearify]

Once a player starts the play the play doesn't end until a player with the ball has his knee or elbow hit ground or they throw forward (back tosses are not throws) and it hits ground. So clock can go past 0:00. There needs to be just enough time to start a play. Out of bounds or scoring ends a play

[@EnjoyerOfWater]

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.

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

[@seansilva967]

[@smack5075]

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!

That’s why they can catch it at 0 seconds and still run around. The game isn’t over until they get tackled or score

[@mpls1982]

Since the field goal kick landed in bounds, the defensove team can pick it up and run it back for 2 points. If the kick was no good and went out of bounds, the game is over. Or in this case, the game would go to an overtime period.

America is a big place, and most people live within driving distance of a college team, but most people don't live that close to a pro team. Plus, a lot of college football teams have been around longer than most pro teams, so they have deeper ties to the culture/traditions/identity of the area.

If the ball is in play when the clock hits 0, the play continues until it scores or is stopped. When the play ends the game is over, unless it results in a tie or there is a penalty on the defense. Scoring Touchdown 6 points & 1 play to try and score 1 or 2. Point After TD 1 point. 2 point conversion 2 points. Field Goal 3 points. Safety 2 points. If you haven't already check out "The rules of American Football". You should also check out NFL Knowing the Rules moments.

[@christophermckinney3924]

When you score a touchdown it is 6 points, you then get a chance to kick a short kick through the uprights for 1 point or a chance to run or pass the ball into the end zone for 2 points. You can also attempt a place kick (field goal) any time for 3 points. The only other way to score is to tackle your opponent in his own end zone for 2 points (a safety). But this is how you can end up with a score of just about any amount.

[@patriciahughes5592]

So remember between the two lines is a ten yards. The team needs to make it to the next 10 yard line. If they can’t, than it may be 3 and Fourth. It was their 3rd try, to make it to the line. If they come up short, the ball gets turned over to the other team.

@ 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.

I mean its a similar concept in soccer, the ref wont blow the game over if a team is currently attacking. In American football the game continues even on 0:00 clock until the current play is over.

Totally enjoy your videos. College football is better because these are young men (not getting paid!) age group between 18-23. They are playing for the love of the game and possibly get drafted into the NFL. These young men play with such passion! Also, there are some states that don't have a NFL team, so we give our hearts to our home college team.😍 It gets intense.

College is because we all have a team in our area we can root for. The NFL is only in the big city. SO college we have a rooting interest.

you have to snap the ball before the clock hits 0 but as long as you have snapped the ball you can still play

To everyone who is across the pond the NCAA football to us especially in the south is what the Premier League or any football league is to Europeans we take it very seriously much more energy and emotion in college football

In the UK it would be your club's U-23s. Then tie that to all the stuff I said below and have it be its own separate thing and the PL draft players from it every year.

In many parts of the US we don't have any NBA or NFL teams so we support all our teams from k through college and beyond.

A Touchdown, successfully running or throwing a caught pass in end zone, is 6 points. After a touchdown the scoring team can either successfully kick the ball through the top of the goal posts for 1 point or run or throw the ball into the end zone for 2 points. A Field Goall, which is an attempt to score when you can't manage to get the football into the end zone by running or throwing, is 3 points. A Safety is when you tackle a player in possession of the football in HIS own end zone, and is worth 2 points.

College football is watched more than the NFL. Why: College football is EMOTION, tradition, excitement. NFL is a wager.

18-22 year olds who've been playing before they could read. It's amazing.

[@lisabosnak7581]

High school football is also fantastic
