Perhaps the most significant difference between pro football and college football is that variation in public interest and you can find that reflecting in betting trends. While NFL football is a 'big deal' throughout the country, not every college football team or matchup captures the imagination of the betting public. For that reason, it's important to know which games are bet heavily by the general public (usually 'big games' featuring top programs like Alabama and Oregon) and which ones have a lower profile and won't get much nationwide attention. It's possible to use 'contrarian' approaches similar to NFL handicapping with 'big' college football games, but these concepts might not work for games with lower echelon teams.

Emotion also plays a more significant role in college football. Professional football players have their 'ups and downs' but as a rule turn in a fairly consistent effort from one week to another. College football players, meanwhile, are more subject to 'letdown' situations where their effort suffers following a big game or an important win. Another emotionally based situation is the 'lookahead' spot where a team lacks focus against a weak opponent with a 'big game' or rivalry matchup on deck.
