They're practically different games in a lot of ways, and as a person who is primarily an NFL fan it's frustrating because we get a bunch players that aren't always ready/prepared to play the NFL game (especially on the o-line, IMO) and it waters down the game. I don't think it's any coincidence blocking is so bad across the league.
I can't fault the college coaches for running the systems they do - they get paid to win, not necessarily to prepare guys for the NFL game.
And with the money the big time college coaches are making now, I don't see much changing unfortunately. I hate college overtime, and hope it never sees the light of day in the NFL. I would actually vote to do away with the two point conversion rule myself, at least in the NFL. Short of that, I think the ball should be placed at the five yard line instead of the two- especially since the ball is spotted at the 15 just for a single point now.
I'm afraid of what the college game is five years behind.
