Football played by mostly 18-21 year-olds at colleges and universities. It is essentially the pre-requisite to the NFL. There are serveral different divisions, but 1-A is the only one that matters.

There are 11 conferences in division 1-A
Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)
Big 12
Big 10
Big East
Conference USA
Mid-American Conference (MAC)
Mountain West (MW)
Pacific 10 (Pac-10)
Southeastern Conference (SEC)
Sunbelt
Western American Conference (WAC)

The Big 10, Big 12, ACC, SEC, Pac-10 and Big East are considered to be the major conferences, and the top teams from these conferences receive automic bids to play in post season bowl games, which put the best teams in the country against eachother. All major bowl games used to be played on New Years day, but then they fucked with tradition.

College football is considered by many to be superior to professional football because of the rivalries and presitige amongst the schools.
Did you see the Ohio State-Michigan game last week? That kind of intense rivalry is college football at it's finest.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

Form of football. Very exciting with diehard fans and intence rivalries, But all in all, inferior to the NFL. Because for one: NFL players are improved college players, college players are college players. And #2: only about 30 teams in College Football are Decent, while the other 80 are crap.

Anyway, it's still a very good league to watch
