Yesterday, SI.com, in an effort to plug its recent FanNation venture, presents the battle between college and the pros (Mandel v. Perloff).

If you haven’t yet checked out SI.com’s new partner, FanNation, it’s got a pretty cool feature where two users can challenge each other to a “Throwdown.” SI.com NFL producer Andrew Perloff and [Mandel] are doing just that today, debating an eternal question that I’m sure readers here will find of interest: Which is better, college football or the NFL?

Today, CBSSports.com (the Sportsline.com site), runs—you guessed it—a feature pitting college football vs. the NFL as its top story (not counting Ron Mexico news).

Now all we need is ESPN.com to put up its own reasons for each side and America won’t read that either. College football rules Thursday night and Saturday, and the rest of the fall days are for the NFL and the stories involving the #1 sport in America. I love college football as much as anybody, but facts are facts and no talk about bands, cheerleaders and student-athletes is going to change people’s minds.
