You’re going to watch. I’m going to watch. Your mom is going to watch. Your uncle is going to watch. Everyone is going to watch.

On Sunday night, the vast majority of Americans will find a way to watch the Super Bowl. Whether it’s for the commercials or gambling on the coin toss, they’ll be watching. The Super Bowl has become as much about pop culture and gambling as it is about deciding the winner of the NFL season.

In all likelihood, this year’s Super Bowl rating will likely crush the average of 28.4 million viewers who tuned in for the National Championship Game a few weeks ago.

But I find it hard to believe that the Super Bowl will actually be more entertaining.

I mean, the national championship had everything. It had the big, bad program taking on the team on the rise (actually, the Super Bowl has that, too). It had the GOAT against one of his former disciples. It had torch-passing and torch-keeping. It had huge momentum shifts, long touchdowns, a stunning quarterback change, a missed game-winning field goal and overtime. And most important, it had an epic walk-off touchdown that brought NICK SABAN TO AN ALL-TIME HIGH.

If that doesn’t tell you how great and thrilling the national championship was, nothing will.

I could probably come up with a scenario in which Bill Belichick would be brought to tears.

The Eagles storm out to a 35-0 lead and Tom Brady closes the first quarter by tearing his anterior cruciate ligament. The Patriots are a mess without him. Rob Gronkowski is already thinking about how many beers he can chug at the postgame party (he’ll do that win or lose). Robert Kraft is nowhere to be found on camera because he left his suite to sit in the bathroom and cry. Patriots backup quarterback Brian Hoyer can’t hear the signals being called because “Fly Eagles Fly” is booming inside U.S. Bank Stadium.

Then, down 4 scores in the fourth quarter, Brady hobbles his way out of the tunnel to save the day. In steps Brady, and off go the Patriots. One by one, Brady dices up the Eagles secondary. Before you can say “Philly cheesesteak,” the Patriots are within a score. After recovering the onside kick, the Patriots get 1 more chance to win it with 5 seconds left from their own 40-yard line. Brady drops delivers a Hail Mary just like the one he threw at the end of Super Bowl XLVI. This time, Gronk catches it. Pats win.

The dynasty refuses to die. Brady’s GOAT status is written in stone. The greatest comeback and most improbable ending in Super Bowl history is complete.

Even in that scenario, are we sure that Belichick sheds a tear?

That’s not necessarily the only measure of how incredible a game is, but you get what I’m saying. That sequence is about the only thing that could possibly top what we saw Alabama do a few weeks ago. The amount of in-game drama will be nearly impossible for the Super Bowl to replicate.

I’d argue that this year’s title game was even better than last year’s Super Bowl. Sure, it also had a thrilling comeback and a walk-off touchdown in overtime, but the Tua Tagovailoa element put the college title game on a different level of crazy. There were more predictable elements of last year’s Super Bowl (Atlanta choking, the greatest quarterback of all time rallying, etc.).

That brings me back to this year’s Super Bowl, which features a pair of teams without any real history with one another (a Super Bowl played against each other 13 years ago doesn’t count). It’ll be a battle of two coaches who probably met for the first time in Minneapolis. Outside of the local markets, there might be more hype for Justin Timberlake’s halftime performance than there is for the actual game.

OK, that’s just speculation.

It wasn’t long ago that many speculated that the national championship would lack nationwide intrigue because it was 2 SEC teams that were separated by 300 miles. Maybe this year’s Super Bowl lacks a certain buzz for the casual fan because both teams are from the same region of the country, or maybe it’s that college football is just more interesting than the NFL right now. I tend to think it’s the latter.

Am I still going to watch? Of course. Will I still be entertained? Probably. But will any moment be as amazing as what I saw in the national championship? Doubtful.

Well, unless ‘NSYNC reunites at halftime.
