College football is easily one of the most competitive sports in America. While the NFL is obviously the professional league that everybody keeps an eye on, college could be considered more competitive at the end of the day. As NCAA players are working on getting to the NFL level so they can get paid for a lifetime, college players tend to leave it all out on the field no matter what.
Being that it’s a highly competitive league, it’s tough to talk opponents up. As trash talk is a major part of the game between players, coaches, and even fans, it’s quite rare when you see others talking up an opposing team.
