College sports easily for me. I assume we are mainly talking football and basketball, although I prefer college hockey to the NHL too.
I like college basketball better because I prefer the slow pace of the game, with the 35 second shot-clock, lower scores, the coaches, the arenas/environments, and drama that builds up throughout the season. The NCAA tournament is the best playoff system in American sports.
What can I say about college football? The passion of college football feels so real to me, as I have a strong connection with Ohio State football. The tailgating, the traditions, the stadiums, the fact that every game could be the end of the season, the rivalries--oh, the rivalries. The Ohio State/Michigan game IS my family's holiday get-together, not Thanksgiving. I get this fuzzy feeling every time I step inside of Ohio Stadium, and I just don't feel that way about the NFL. If you lose four games in the NFL it is an excellent season; if you lose four games in college football you are playing a bowl game in December and you have zero chance at a National Championship. You have to be perfect (or near perfect) to win a title. Oh... and bowl season! I love bowl season! Week after week of college football games.
The only professional sport I like better than the college game is baseball for obvious reasons...
