College Football

College football is a form of American football played by teams of student-athletes from colleges and universities, primarily in the United States. It is governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which organizes the competition, sets the rules, and oversees the various divisions and levels of play.

The sport involves teams competing in regular-season games, culminating in conference championships and postseason bowl games, along with a national championship playoff for the highest level of competition. College football is known for its passionate fan base, traditions, and rivalries, often featuring significant pageantry, including marching bands and spirit squads.

Games are typically played on weekends in the fall, and college football serves as a major cultural event within the U.S., drawing large crowds and substantial media coverage. It also acts as a pathway for many athletes to advance to professional levels, particularly the National Football League (NFL).
