There's just no comparison. Its duration, suspense and drama is unparalleled with the stakes being about as high as they can get for athletics.
The egalitarian undercurrent of the sport -- tiny schools often challenge and overcome larger athletic powerhouse programs -- combined with games' near-constant action in roughly 2-hour contests make it ideal for spectators. The variety of identities between teams, the fan bases crossing paths that rarely meet otherwise, it weaves a rich tapestry.
I love college football, but it has never had anything approaching March Madness. It is even sweeter that Auburn is finally a consistent component.
