This season, college football is bigger than ever, literally. From Texas-sized player paychecks for a sport that shuts down states, there's plenty to talk about beyond the field. In this episode, we give you the cheat sheet: the traditions, famous fans (we see you, Matthew McConaughey and Glen Powell), edible mascots, and conversation starters that will help you confidently talk college football anywhere, without the mansplaining or stat overload.

Whether you're cheering for Coach Prime from the couch, heading to a tailgate, or just looking to join in at the office, we've got the stories that matter most.
