I missed 14, 17, and 25. However some of my attempted answers were as low as 56 and 70. Who knew?

The one I missed was Virginia Tech.

I missed 14 and 22

I got all but two. And in retrospect, the two I couldn't remember were pretty obvious ones.

I missed #25.

For most of the others that were not the common sense ones, I simply went through all the BCS conferences......surprise surprise....almost all the top 25 are BCS schools.......how unfair!

That's what I did too but for some reason I couldn't think of two of them ...

Well several of them are no longer really major, that's why and number 25 confused me.

BYu checks in at number 70, a long ways to go.

I didn't enter Alabama and Auburn until the final seconds. I initially went conference by conference but began drawing blanks, so I switched my game to a geographical one.

If you take that link that I posted, and paste the data into a spreadsheet and sort it by winning percentage, the top 10 generally stays put but the rest of the list changes drastically, for example Boise State jumps from 110 to 10, Florida State jumps from 89 to 12, and the Miami that all of us meant to type in jumps from 54 to 15.
