-The Steelers / Ravens Playoff game the other year was the most watched football sporting event all time outside of the Superbowls. Try 34 Million Views for this rivalry.

-College Football isnt even in the same stratosphere in viewership. The National Title game last year only drew 25 Million. When The Steelers played the Cardinals in the Superbowl, it was 99 Million.

-So when talking rivalries and people's interest level watching particular games and teams, College Football flat out cannot compete with the NFL.
