Perhaps a little reflection is overdue for some of our SEC brethren as to why no teams from the conference can scratch the Top 25 as of the middle of December?
There's some research (that I can't locate at this second) showing football is more popular in America but by a pretty narrow margin. Plus, that measured the NFL versus the NBA. Since the NBA delivers a boring product compared to the NCAA (partly because of rule differences), the margin is probably narrower with college ball compared to pro.
FYI, the most popular sport in Alabama is not Bama or Auburn football but NASCAR

Maybe if you're talking NBA vs. NFL (which you are). College basketball is the least popular "major" sport in the country and has been since all the good players started leaving after one season.
