Since most have been gotten, here are the Final Answers:

1. What 2 states have the most FBS colleges located in them?

Someone got this: Texas has 10, Ohio has 8 for the most FBS schools in a state.

2. Two current FBS schools have been members in 5 different conferences, most of any schools. Name them.

A tough one here. Answers are Va. Tech and New Mexico St.

Va. Tech has been a member of the ACC, Big East, Southern, South Atlantic, and Southern AIC which was different from the Southern Conf. (the latter two are defunct)

N.Mex. St. has been a member of the WAC, Sun Belt, Big West, Missouri Valley, and Border Intercollegiate conf. (the last now defunct)

3. Two current FBS schools were once in the SEC but left. Name them.

Tulane and Georgia Tech are correct.

4. What two current FBS schools have been playing intercollegiate football the longest?

Rutgers has been playing since 1869. Recall that it played the very first game against Princeton (some of the other Ivies began play that same year, but they are not now FBS)

Northwestern is second, playing since 1876.

5. The following colors are used in the nicknames of various current FBS schools: Crimson, Red, Black, Golden, Blue, Yellow, Green, Scarlet, Cardinal, Orange. Which color is used the most, and if you can, name the schools.

I think this question was misunderstood. The above color that is used most in the nicknames of FBS schools is GOLDEN:

Tulsa Golden Hurricanes

Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles

Minnesota Golden Gophers

Kent State Golden Flashes

Florida International Golden Panthers

California Golden Bears

6. Of the 120 FBS schools, 5 still use "Indian" nicknames. What are they?

This one was gotten: Utah Utes, San Diego St. Aztecs, Illinois Fighting Illini, FSU Seminoles, Central Michigan Chippewas

7. What cities here that have FBS schools that are the same name as that of a foreign capital?

Athens, Georgia and Athens, Ohio (Georgia and Ohio U.) after Athens, Greece

Moscow, Idaho (Univ. of Idaho) after Moscow, Russia

8. Two cities of the same name appear 5 times on the list of FBS college towns. Give those city names. (e.g. Bumfrak, Alaska and Bumfrak, Hawaii)

Athens, of course, Ohio and Georgia, (for Ohio U. and Georgia)

Oxford, Ohio and Mississippi (Miami, O. and Ole Miss)

Columbia, South Carolina and Missouri (South Carolina and Missouri)

Bowling Green, Ohio and Kentucky (for BGSU and Western Ky.)

University Park, Pennsylvania and Texas (for Penn St. and SMU)

9. Name the current FBS schools that are "Independent", i.e.not belonging to a football conference.

Notre Dame, Army, Navy

10. Which states do NOT have an FBS school located there?

All these were named: Alaska, Delaware, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont.....and you can also include Washington D.C. though I didn't count it.

11. Which FBS school won the most games while going undefeated. Name the school and the year.

2002 Ohio State Buckeyes 14-0

12. What is the last school that is not part of the BCS today to win a National Championship?

BYU, 1984 National Champs (hey, they could get to the BCS game this year if they take out FSU)

13. What school used to be a member of The Big Ten?

The University of Chicago (now a Div. III school)

14. When did The Big Ten formally become The Big Ten?

Believe it or not it was 1987!

Before that it was officially "The Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives" but was only nicknamed "The Big Ten". Then in '87 for legal purposes they decided to make the name official.

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...

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

@lnc said:

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

And you added the right answer to #13.

How about some WFL & CFL stuff? Lol.

@the-gipper said:

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.

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.

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

For your answer to #2, did you mean question #3? If so, you were partially right.

Also, FYI, the University of Wyoming IS an FBS school.

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.

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

You only got one full complete answer correct here with your guesses, though on #10 all your choices are correct, but there are others.
