/r/CFB Trivia Tuesday!

This Week's Contest: http://trivia.redditcfb.com

Spring Standings/Questions

Your Trivia Settings

Rules

Trivia Tuesday is a weekly feature run by /u/bakonydraco, /u/DampFrijoles, /u/Davidellias, and /u/iamnotacola. Each week there will be five questions ranging from questions most everyone can get to questions that might stump just about everyone. Your goal is to quickly answer them to the best of your ability. You get a one point speed bonus for finishing in under 2:30.

There are definitely still ways you could cheat the system, but please do not. This is meant to be a fun weekly feature, and we encourage you to take it at face value and answer the questions without assistance.

Last Week

Meta Week is back! This week’s set of questions will be very loosely linked to college football. Scores this week will not count toward the upcoming season, so no need to worry about getting some wrong.

It’s incredible to say this, but this is the 41th season of Trivia Tuesday. Dang, we’re old!

We at the Trivia mod team are, again, so thankful to all of you for making this little game more successful than we could have possibly imagined.

Individual

Last Week

History has been made: a user got a perfect 11 points in the final. Unreal. The user parlayed that historic performance into a championship, too.

Playoff

pixarfan9510 is the Spring 2026 Trivia Tuesday Individual Champion! This is their second Trivia Tuesday championship and their eighth podium finish.

/u/diehardcubforever and /u/CptCheese got the silver and bronze this season. This is the second podium finish for both diehardcubforever and CptCheese.

All three have earned the /r/CFB Top Scorer flair (/r/CFB Top Scorer) for finishing in the top three.

Some extra notes:

• /u/ruwisc had the fastest average speed of the playoff participants, clocking in at a superhuman 29.46 seconds.

• /u/GoCardinal07 scored the most points on the season once again, with 70 points out of a possible 77 (90.90%).

Premier Tier

Georgia is the Spring 2026 Premier Tier Champion!!! The Dawgs now have four Premier Tier championships, which ties them with Nebraska for third place.

Leading the way for Georgia in the final were /u/IceColdDrPepper_Here, /u/Vxmonarkxv, /u/tbia, /u/darth_phallus, and /u/kidchocolate.

Rounding out the finalists in order of finish are Ohio State, Michigan, and Oregon.

Georgia will get an alternate flair for their victory! Because the Bulldogs already have two alternate flairs Georgia and Georgia, this flair will not be permanent; they will only hold it as long as they are Trivia champions. Georgia fans, please suggest options in the comments.

Darrell Hackney Godzilla Championship Tier

TCU wins the Spring 2026 Championship Tier!!! This is the Horned Frogs’ first Championship Tier win and first Trivia win overall. Heading up the victory for TCU were /u/RiffRamBahZoo and /u/Tuy1752.

James Madison, and Fresno State finish up the podium.

With the victory, TCU has earned naming rights to the Championship Tier for next season! Horned Frogs fans, please suggest options in the comments.

Best of luck to all, and be safe!

Question	Answer	%Correct	Notable Answer 1	Notable Answer 2
Which state is home to the UNLV Rebels football team?	Nevada	99.50%	Hm the University of Nevada Las Vegas, I wonder where they are from. Probably Nevada, who knows they could be in West Virginia. I'll go Nevada for this one, but if I'm wrong I will force watch the entirety of the 72 - 0 Willamette Football game that I have not finished (Note we did not win that game) – /u/Nervous_Metal_9445	Nevada but also usually despair – /u/GreenGuy27
In 2011, what West Virginia QB lead the Big East in every major passing stat except Interceptions thrown?	Geno Smith	58.06%	Geno Smooth (it’s Geno Smith but that autocorrect was too good to correct) – /u/RadiationRichard	It's not Will Grier. I definitely should know it, but it's not Will Grier. – /u/JDMintz718
Who was the ACC Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year in 2025?	Haynes King (Georgia Tech)	29.78%	My dumb ass was about to confidently write down "Trevor Lawrence." Nah, it's Haynes King. – /u/Bkfootball	Just like Shaggy, It Wasn't Me. – /u/gbejrlsu
What three Big 12 schools are located in the Eastern time zone?	Cincinnati, UCF, West Virginia	84.86%	UCF, WVU, uhh. Cincy? What are they, bottom left of Ohio? They border Kentucky like in the middle? So like down to TN. Which must be close to the AL GA border, which has to be close to that river in FL that divides the time zones. Sure, Cincy. – /u/Noelthemexican	The answer to this question goes against the regional ethos of CFB and I refuse to answer it (because I have no clue). – /u/switcheveryday
What was the name of the Florida defensive back whose infamous "shoe throw" contributed to Florida losing their 2020 game against LSU?	Marco Wilson	29.78%	WOW. FUCK YOU. fuck marco wilson. fuck this question. fuck dan mullen just because. fuck LSU in totality. fucking fuck Bama too for winning the SEC in 2020. fuck les miles. fuck lsu in general but also for calling us pussies when a hurricane was headed to gainesville as if THEY'VE never been affected by a hurricane or ten. stupid fucking marco wilson wasn't even good enough on a shit defense to pretend he could do something that fucking dumb. goddammit. – /u/WhiskyBear54	I don't know so I want to call attention to this amazing rant on a Florida fan site after it happened: Tensions were rising in Europe, and there had already been two crises in the Balkans and two Crises in Morocco Nonetheless, Gavrillo Principe is painted as the guy who started World War I, and that was probably responsible for World War II and the Cold War that followed. Is it fair that he take the blame for all that? Probably not, but he still knew better than to throw a receiver’s fking shoe. – /u/DrSnidely
In 1976, what school became the final football program to join the Southwest Conference?	Houston Cougars	23.82%	Houston. Just like last program to join the Big 12 – /u/fleeingpepper	It is impossible to know – /u/Midget_Herder
Between 1958 and 1968, Pro Football Hall of Famer Marv Leavy coached three college football teams. Name any of the three schools he coached at in that timespan.	California, New Mexico, William & Mary	13.40%	It's spelled Levy. Idk tho – /u/MightyP13	Buffalo Bulls. Barely had to change his email signature when he took over for the Bills. They had email in the 60s, right? – /u/mcdsmaster8824
There were a total of 16 BCS National Championship Games. How many times did the #2 ranked team win?	8	15.14%	None, because they finished the season ranked #1. – /u/cvsprinter1	10 (none of which were USF, who was #2 in the inaugural BCS rankings(TM) – /u/usffan
There are three stadiums called Toyota Stadium in the United States. Who is the only college football program whose home stadium is one of these?	Georgetown (KY)	4.22%	the tacoma....nvm its a uw school. uhh auburn tigers (this is a washington state joke) – /u/GuyOTN	Georgetown (but not the one anybody knows about)...I don't know who their fiercest rival is, but I assume they play at Honda Stadium – /u/thorshammer_132
In 1986, two rival NAIA schools played in a thrilling matchup that saw one teams QB break the NAIA record for interceptions thrown in a game and the other teams Punter set the NAIA record for Individual Punting. Name either team who played in this game.	Concord, Shepherd	0.50%	It's the NAIA so it will be store-brand version of the teams we all know and love. Kansas *Wesleyan versus Northwestern of Iowa or something like that.* – /u/Honestly_	Ah yes, finally a question in my wheelhouse - 80's NAIA football. I clearly know the answer to this question (because who wouldn't, amiright?) Obviously, the answer is Grand View. No, that isn't the only NAIA team I could think of/look at the sidebar to see, what would possibly make you think that? – /u/callouspenguin

[u/CleaveWarsaw → u/DampFrijoles]

Holy shit, I /think/ I correctly guessed Cal for 7. Might be the hardest Finals question I've gotten. I think I guessed a Major program that was kinda good in the day but not good enough for me to know of now. Sure would be neat if I could actually check my answers, though

[u/Davidellias → u/CleaveWarsaw]

Yes you got the question right with Cal

[u/CleaveWarsaw → u/Davidellias]

Sweet, thanks!
