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...
-
LNC you got #10 all correct, we had not had Alaska before. Plus Athens is one on #7 but I can't really give you Memphis as it is not the current capital....but good info though.
And you added the right answer to #13.

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.
