Some claim that the biggest bowl games (Rose, Orange, Sugar and Fiesta) could be scheduled as earlier games in the playoffs leading up to a national championship. This may be, but who wants to watch the great Rose Bowl become a stepping-stone towards a greater goal? "Supporters of big bowls such as the Rose Bowl would not be supportive toward a playoff system." (Carrey 1).

These are rules that are upheld by the majority of any football leagues in the United States. These are the similarities between the NFL and college football. Many of the differences between college and NFL football are minor rules that may change from time to time. In college football when a player is running the ball if his knee hit the ground; the play would end. Whereas in the NFL if the player was not touched by the other team prior to his knee hitting the ground he would be able to stand up and continue the play.
Overtime games are decided by a field goal shootout, and after a touchdown a team is granted one point for kicking and two points for running or passing the ball into the end zone. But what makes the game great are all of the features that the spin off sport retains from the original penalties, passing and the length of the game are generally the same as the contact version of the sport.” This sport is perfect for little kids who love football but whose parents are scared of the risk factors that come with playing the actual game. Flag football is the perfect alternative because you still get the same rush and competition as you do in the normal version. For the parents it’s great too because they still get to watch their child run around having fun but without the major

Friday Night Lights provided all three of these themes plus a whole list of others. This movie also helps to decode why football has such an impact on the youth of America, especially high school football.

I have two of the most awesome parents ever. My mom is a lawyer and my dad he’s the best wide receiver in the NFL. He plays for the Pittsburg Steelers. I’m trying to follow in my dad’s footsteps because I am the best wide receiver at Cy-Woods.

Just six months later, that seemingly quaint gesture could go down as a milestone in the escalating fight over how to define and compensate

In order to determine the champion of the National Football League, all teams are given fair amounts of opportunities to keep who the champion contenders are a suspense, a secret, and worth while. But what about college football: how do we know the champions truly are the champions? In division 1A football, there is no playoff system. 119 teams in one league and only four “big” bowl games for these teams to fight over.
