10. College football overtime rules! Equal possessions, if the first team scores the other has to or the game is over...Awesome.
9. Egos. Granted a 22 year-old's ego can be pretty big, but it's no where near as big as say Chad Johnson...er...Ochocinco.
8. Final Four tournament. Bar-none the best playoff tournament in the world. Where else is there a 64 team (plus one winner from a play-in game) playoff to determine the national champion? The best team always shows up and a few Cinderella's go dancing and upsetting the big boys.
7. Passion. There is so much passion in a stadium or arena that you can literally feel it vibrating.
6. Rankings. Every week there is a list of the 25 best teams in the country, you play well you move up lose you drop. Plain and simple.
5. Rivalries. The bitter hatred between rivals, so bitter that some rivalry games have had to be moved to neutral sites to avoid serious problems.
4. Focus on teams, rather than individuals. I may know every player on my team, but a few year's down the road I won't I'll just remember the team.
3. Education. You don't learn, you don't play...well if you're GPA isn't good enough you don't.
2. Tradition. Marching Bands, rituals, and superstitions, every school has them and they make each and every game and school unique and fun.
1. They play for the love of the game, not for the money.
