college football
Campus tackle sport
College football is American football played by university and college teams.
It draws massive audiences, particularly in the South and Midwest, where programs like Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan command intense regional loyalty.
College football Saturdays are a fall tradition, with tailgating, marching bands, and rivalries dating back over a century.
The sport serves as the primary feeder system for the NFL.
