We are half way through the season and the gridiron action is heating up both on the college and professional front. Whether it’s Saturday’s defensive battle of #1 LSU vs.. #2 Alabama or Sunday’s offensive match up of Giants vs.. Patriots, there isn’t a shortage of great games this weekend.
LSU vs. Alabama is being viewed as the game of the decade. Every sports radio and TV station is talking about it and the ticket cost alone for this match-up is incredible. As of Thursday, the asking price for one ticket was $5,000 and the game is on track to become the highest-selling college football game of the season. This is also the first time in SEC history the #1 and #2 teams are facing off in the regular season.

Last week I gave you a little taste of the different topics I’ll discuss this season. Thank you to everyone who responded and shared their viewpoints.
This week I’m focusing on the biggest difference I see between college and professional football. In my opinion it comes down to “Every Week Matters vs. Survival of the Fittest.”
College teams strive to make it to post-season and play in either a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) game, (a ranking system that creates five post-season bowl games involving the top 10 ranked teams) or win six or more games and become bowl eligible. If a team has six or more wins, they may be invited to a post-season game based on their conference placement and the tie-ins that their conference has to the various bowl games. Either way, every team has the same goal: “go bowling or go home.” A huge benefit to making it to post-season play is that it enables teams to have several additional weeks of practice which can go a long way to getting ready for the following season (not just the bowl game!).
