Atmosphere, and it isn't close. A night game in a packed student section beats any pro game I've ever been to. The NFL has better football; college has better Saturdays.
Every fall the college-versus-pros debate fires back up. For my money it's the pageantry: 100,000 people, marching bands, rivalries with a century of bad blood, and a sport where a backup can become a legend on one Saturday. The NFL is a cleaner product, but college has the soul. What's your side, and if you could steal one thing from the other game and add it to yours, what would it be?
