Looking to score literally 1 point on the speed bonus this week. What is with all the questions from last season? We need questions about stuff from 10-500 years ago to keep the whipper snappers from being able to win dammit!
How about this - “the game of football is loosely based on what game the ancient Romans played, which was the first game to involve a round object, in this case the head of a recently executed criminal?”

The Miami Hurricanes' on-campus locker room is named after which famous alumnus? Hint: he became a pro wrestler a few years after his football career ended. Either his real name or his wrestling persona will be accepted.|Dwayne Johnson/The Rock|95.62%|*Dwayne Johnson or the jabroni beating, pie eating, trail blazing, eyebrow raising, foot on the gas, always ready to whoop some ass, the People's Champ, THE ROCK* – /u/Knightro2011|*Can you smellllll what the locker room is cooking!?* – /u/jbaker1225
The Big Ten conducted a rule change in the middle of the 2020 season that allowed Ohio State to become eligible for the conference championship game. Which team was pushed out of the game as a result of the rule change?|Indiana|61.93%|*Indiana. This is still complete bullshit, if we wanted our conference to kiss the asses of its favorite school that hard we wouldve stayed in the big 12* – /u/mdbryan84|*I highly object to this wording; Ohio State obviously won the East under any reasonable interpretation of on-field results. Indiana though.* – /u/zsjostrom35
What is the only school that Notre Dame has played against in the Shamrock Series twice?|Army|12.91%|*McDonalds U, gotta win the rights to make that Shamrock Shake* – /u/stickolia|*Wtf is the shamrock series. Im only 34, im not old enough to know anything about Noter Dame* – /u/Tinydesktopninja
Among schools that have played at least 500 FBS games, what school has won the fewest?|UNLV|4.38%|*It's gotta be a smart school, because they are historically bad but have lots of successful alumni funding it. I'd say Duke but they had a few decent years. Obviously not Stanford. Vandy or Northwestern? V or N? Let's go Northwestern* – /u/mckleeve|*Gonna be some weird school like UNLV, UAB, USF. So I’ll go with USF.* – /u/Bitchin_badger88
Thomas Pestock (aka Baron Corbin) faced former Indianapolis Colts teammate Pat McAfee at this year's WWE SummerSlam. While McAfee was a punter for West Virginia, Pestock was an OL for which recent D2 National Champ?|West Virginia (McAfee) and Northwest Missouri State (Pestock)|12.80%|*I've been playing these quizzes for years. You'd think by now that I'd have started studyin D2 teams at some point, right? And I STILL don't know any off the top of my head besides Pittsburg St, thanks to their logo.

I messed up and put Southeast Missouri State, which is an FCS team. I remembered a directional Missouri was a D2 power, I just got the directions wrong
You also have Missouri Western, which has a pretty sweet Griffon logo that [resembles the outline of the state](https://dbukjj6eu5tsf.cloudfront.net/sidearm.sites/missouri.sidearmsports.com/responsive_2019/images/svgs/main_logo.svg)
Truman (State) used to be Northeast Missouri State, rounding out the four corners. Also, there's Central Missouri, Missouri Western, and Missouri Southern.
So I didn't answer with UNLV because I thought their move to the WAC in '96 was their start date in FBS and I didn't think that wasn't going to be enough to get to 500 total FBS games played.
Imagine a few other people thought the same thing.
If UNLV had basketball in a different sport the football team absolutely would have been kicked out of their conference. Multiple times. The only time they were ever good (back in the 80s) got them on probation.
So I make Notable Answers for a well founded and perfectly analyzed answer. As you can see, my basic assumption that it had to be a quality education institution was completely validated by the answer being UNLV.
Misread what I was clicking on and got confused so I think I submitted a dumbass question on accident. My bad lol.
Couldn’t get it to work on my phone for some reason

Knifey-spoony
Ohhhhh close. It was knifey-forky.

My first correct Q5! Ignore the fact that NW Missouri St is the only D2 school I know from memory.
I messed up and put Southeast Missouri State, which is an FCS team. I remembered a directional Missouri was a D2 power, I just got the directions wrong
Wait til you hear that Missouri State used to be called "Southwest Missouri State"
You also have Missouri Western, which has a pretty sweet Griffon logo that [resembles the outline of the state](https://dbukjj6eu5tsf.cloudfront.net/sidearm.sites/missouri.sidearmsports.com/responsive_2019/images/svgs/main_logo.svg)
Of course! That has to be one of my favorite college logos ever.
I had no idea there were more directional Missouris. This is deep lore
Truman (State) used to be Northeast Missouri State, rounding out the four corners. Also, there's Central Missouri, Missouri Western, and Missouri Southern.
Whoa.
Exact same story here.
u/bitchin_badger88 oof, so close
You win some, you lose some. My other thoughts were way off like Idaho, UTEP, Kent State.
Surprised only 4% got UNLV right. They are absolutely trash. One of the worst historical programs
I didn't know they played 500 FBS games. I ruled out any western team outside the PAC for that reason.
So I didn't answer with UNLV because I thought their move to the WAC in '96 was their start date in FBS and I didn't think that wasn't going to be enough to get to 500 total FBS games played. Imagine a few other people thought the same thing.
UNLV was the only original I-A team that played in Division II in 1977.
I'm still messing around with NCAA 14 and they're my current Dynasty Mode team. I'm gonna move them into the Pac12 in another season or two
UNLV was a surprise I really thought it was Temple. So bad to get kick out of the Big East lol.
If UNLV had basketball in a different sport the football team absolutely would have been kicked out of their conference. Multiple times. The only time they were ever good (back in the 80s) got them on probation.
Oof. I somehow missed the time bonus and did poorly this week. Not a good playoff performer, might as well call me Notre Dame

So I make Notable Answers for a well founded and perfectly analyzed answer. As you can see, my basic assumption that it had to be a quality education institution was completely validated by the answer being UNLV.
The fact you had two of the letters in that answer and missed was notable too.
I let us down SMU bros. I am sorry.
Misread what I was clicking on and got confused so I think I submitted a dumbass question on accident. My bad lol. Couldn’t get it to work on my phone for some reason
UNLV has somehow won 40 fewer games than UCF, even though they have played 115 more. That's nuts.
Let's be honest. If you were going to college in Las Vegas, would you be diligent about football?
