Many claim that the Super Bowl is over hyped, and this is true; however, it's the Super Bowl (not the Average Bowl), and the game is now a modern American tradition. Nevertheless, the Super Bowl has evolved into more of a social rather than a sporting event, as many viewers couldn't care less who wins or which teams are even playing. Moreover, since the game is not played on the home field of either them, the game lacks much of the excitement that home field brings. Finally, many complain about how much attention the commercials get, but these have become as much a part of the game as beer and hotdogs are to baseball (for instance). In the end, however, the Super Bowl loses stars when compared to the NCAA Basketball Tournament and the second round of the NFL playoffs (which usually has more competitive games).
