I dont think its as much stupidity as its just a unique sport that is very complex. The unique demands of each position, the difference in systems, the reliance on other teammates, and the small sample size make it all so difficult to judge. There also isnt really a lower level like there is in other sports.

College football just isnt close to the competition or parity you find in the pros. If you are a WR on Alabama you have a very different opportunity than a WR on Montana, for example. You play different teams, you have different O lines to protect different QBs needed to throw you the ball. You are playing against different defenses and coverage systems and you are judged on maybe 3 seasons of 10 games each if you are a standout.
