The purpose of these college football threads and articles are to help those who don't know a ton about the sport to stay informed throughout the year up until draft time. There are several people on this site, and others from other SBNation sites, that love to talk about college football. If you consider youself not interested, or not understanding why it's being discussed on a Niners related website then there are plenty of other great articles and fanposts on the site to focus on relative to the 49ers.
There has already been some really intriguing games and matchups. College Football kicked off this past Thursday and will continue on in to Monday. So there is still plenty of action left this week with a majority of it happening
