Running the score up in college and running the score up in the NFL are two different things. In NCAA there are 100+ teams vying for basically 25 poll positions. In order to get noticed by those doing the voting, sometimes you have to kill teams like Western MI by 63 points. In the NFL, running the score up will do nothing but get people on your back. In the NFL, you get to the playoffs by your W-L record.

In the NCAA you get there by your W-L record, but also by how well you dominated during the season.

(Yes, in the NFL points can be a factor if teams are tied in several other categories, but this rarely happens.)
