My alma mater - used to be the Indians in my day.

Level 53

Mar 5, 2015

Yup, I guessed Indians and then couldn't figure out what it is now. One of the 3 I missed. ODU and UTSA the others, both being brand new to D1.

Level 26

Aug 27, 2013

1:37 left.... took a lot longer then I originally thought it would have.

Level 75

Aug 29, 2013

I consistently miss Virginia. Don't know why...

Level 75

May 20, 2014

Did it again 9 months later...sigh...

Level 75

Mar 21, 2017

The trend continues...it's now 2017 and I STILL CAN'T REMEMBER VIRGINIA! It's not because I can't spell it...I keep trying either commodores or musketeers and just forget cavaliers all together.

Level 35

Mar 26, 2022

Update?

Level 75

Jul 1, 2022

Level 50

Aug 29, 2013

Didn't even know UTSA was FBS, so that threw me off. Other than that, got em all.

Level 65

Aug 29, 2013

Impressed that I got all the SEC

Level 13

Live in Uk and new to College sports but got 50, also good luck to Michigan teams in NCAA.

Level 68

Jul 2, 2014

seems like "cardinal" should work for the teams that are "cardinals"

100% with 4:52 remaining.

Level 38

Sep 10, 2014

Quizmaster, Idaho on April 28 will move to the FCS. Check http://footballscoop.com/news/source-idaho-to-drop-to-fcs/

Level 66

May 10, 2016

Missed Miami-OH because I typed "Redhawks" instead of capitalizing the "H."

Seems a little too picky.

Level 51

Jun 17, 2016

Punctuation and capitalization don't matter, you should have gotten the answer anyway. Must have misspelled "Redhawks"

Level 50

Oct 5, 2016

I very much appreciate that it required the full name of many mascots. This is coming from a guy who at least a dozen times entered a shorter name, expecting my laziness to be rewarded.

Level 48

Jan 27, 2017

80/128 on my first try. Not bad, considering I don't follow a ton of college football.

Level 34

Feb 14, 2017

117/128 first try

Level 67

Apr 24, 2017

I sat with "golden knights" written in the answer box with 129 already filled in for about 2 minutes before i remembered they dropped the "golden" about 8 years ago.

Level 62

Apr 27, 2017

SAME

Level 48

Sep 19, 2017

Super small change request: can Stanford Cardinal be updated to Cardinals so we only have to type Cardinals once?

Level 62

Oct 3, 2017

Their mascot is not the Cardinals...

Level 18

Nov 17, 2017

130/130 with 2 minutes left. Easy

Level 58

Jun 14, 2018

This quis reminds me of my favorite Simpsons quotes:

"Who are we?" "The Wildcats!"

"Who are we going to beat?" "The Wildcats!"

Level 87

Aug 30, 2018

Damn, Jaguars only have 33% correct? I thought that'd be higher.

Level 67

Aug 30, 2018

I know nothing about American Football, but I had fun guessing names of teams - animals, birds, weather, cowboys, etc. Got 30.

Level 44

Nov 19, 2018

I'd say the best team name would have to go to the North Texas Mean Green.

Level 50

Oct 21, 2019

I always miss Louisiana-Monroe

Level 57
