1) California, Texas

11) THE Ohio State University, 14-0 2002

5) Alabama Crimson Tide, Miami Red Hawks & Texas Tech Red Raiders, Army Black Knights of the Hudson, Tulsa Golden Hurricanes, Winnipeg Blue Bombers lol, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Tulane Green Wave, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Stanford Cardinal, Syracuse Orangemen. I would say "red" is the most common color.

10) Vermont, Maine, & Rhode Island; maybe North & South Dakota

4) Harvard & Yale

2) SMU & Arkansas

 

I will work on the rest

10. wyoming

2. miami (fl) is one i think. is georgia tech the other?

9. notre dame, army, navy, and temple i believe.

i knew 1, 4 and 11 but i was beat to it.

 

Your answers are not correct, though I will give you #9 as you got them all but just added one. (Temple)

And go ahead and give #s 1 and 4 a try because those answers weren't right.

But yes, #11 was 2002 OSU.

Pretty good job..You got #1 right, #6 you got them all(yes, I included SD St.), #9, and you got every state in #10 except one, and #11. For #8 you got one of the 5 cities, but FYI, Miami, Ohio is the name of the school...not of the city. BUT, give that one some more thought! And, it seems you may have misunderstood #5.

And FYI, Notre Dame IS a part of the BCS.

I think on #5 I missed one of the Goldens. So I'd say that Golden is the color with the most schools.

 

Really? Notre Dame is one of the BCS schools? I thought only the 5 big conferences were?

 

Which state did I miss? Damn! Forgot Alaska... chuckle...

I think I misinterpreted your fourth question, I read that as which schools had the oldest intercollegiate rivalry. The oldest FBS programs I believe are Michigan and Minnesota

 

Right, I was not looking for the top rivalry, just the longest standing programs. Your answer here is not correct.

Golden is the right answer., and yes, ND is the only BCS Independent.
