Competitive balance. There have been 11 games kickoff so far this week. 3 are blowouts. The other 8 have been tied or within 5 points in the 4th quarter. Through the 1st 4 weeks there were 64 games played. 50 of them were within 1 score at some point in the 4th quarter.
There were 20 games yesterday played by NCAA teams ranked in the AP top 25. Only 7 of them had a margin of victory less than 10 points. I'm hopeful that the coming era of two super conferences creates significantly greater tv/streaming revenue, thus more revenue sharing. Possibly even some sort of draft or nil salary cap. It could truly become a real alternative to the big money of the NFL.
ETA: The Bucs were up 21-0 when I started this post. Falcons have now comeback and it's 21-15 with 5 minutes to go in the 4th. So 9 out of 11 are within a score in the 4th quarter.
