Can you name all the schools in these Major NCAA Conferences?

I got 64/73. The Big East was my downfall and will be the downfall for all the big Football fans that don't care much for basketball. Of football schools, I only forgot two football programs and I'm a little upset with one of them I forgot.

**Ranger** · 07-05-2008, 09:34 AM

Next do the school nicknames.

**cullingsir** · 07-05-2008, 10:06 AM

63/73. Got pwned by the Big East as well.

56/73. Drew a complete blank on the Big East. Only got 4 of them. Couldn't remember U. of Miami either.

**oldschoolbaseball33** · 07-05-2008, 10:13 AM

71/73 on the names. Time ran out as I typed "Wake Forst"

**djhutch** · 07-05-2008, 10:21 AM

67/73 nicknames. Big East again.

**Lbh24** · 07-05-2008, 10:46 AM

69. All Big-East.

**NJ Jackal** · 07-05-2008, 10:47 AM

I got them all. I had no trouble with the Big East, of course I am a graduate of the Big East school that was the second least guessed in this quiz.

**SpartanValor** · 07-05-2008, 10:49 AM

I was 69/73 on the schools. 3 of my 4 wrong were from the big east.

I missed 4 of the 5 least-guessed. If your school is what I think it is, then it's the one that I did guess.

Seton Hall, second only to Providence for most obscure in this quiz. What is funny is that I chose Seton Hall over Providence when I decided where to go to college.

The three that I couldn't remember for some reason were Kansas State, South Carolina, and Florida State. Eventually, they hit me and I got it done with about 3 minutes to spare.

**oldschoolbaseball33** · 07-05-2008, 11:01 AM

Perfect on the nicknames. Those were really easy. The only one I had trouble with was DePaul. I kept typing in Blue Devils instead of what it really is (hint hint).

**SpartanValor** · 07-05-2008, 11:02 AM

Nicknames I got 64/73...but I put "buffalo" for Colorado, and it wouldn't give it to me. Wasted a lot of precious time on that one....Harder than the school list, thats for sure.

**oldschoolbaseball33** · 07-05-2008, 11:08 AM

Anyone known of an ultimate name the schools game? With all the D-1 schools? Now THAT would be a sweet challenge!

I got 72. Missed this one for the same reason.

**T.O. Tiger Fan** · 07-05-2008, 11:35 AM

I got 69/73 on the schools - drew a blank on Providence, DePaul, South Florida and Seton Hall. I scored a perfect 73/73 on the nicknames!

**Buddha** · 07-05-2008, 12:33 PM

67. For some reason I missed Georgia Tech in the ACC and then a number of Big Least schools like Cincinnati and Villanova.

**Simple Simon** · 07-05-2008, 02:38 PM

60/73 on the teams and 69/73 on nicknames...must be too early! My mind was blanking!

**Hongbit** · 07-05-2008, 02:58 PM

I got all 73 on both tests (3:00 remaining on the schools and 5:30 left on nicknames). More proof that I'm smarter than all of you.

**wolverinefan** · 07-05-2008, 03:41 PM

73/73 on teams..

72/73 on nicknames..DePaul tripped me up.

**Edman85** · 07-05-2008, 03:43 PM

Got all the teams but Seton Hall... blanked on the nicknames for South Florida, Rutgers, and Providence.

Kicked myself after all three.

**lionstigersand...** · 07-05-2008, 05:53 PM

71/73 on the schools - Villanova and...NOTRE DAME!!! Just drew a total blank on the Irish.

73/73 on the nicknames with a time 29 seconds faster than Hongbit's!

**Ranger** · 07-06-2008, 01:48 AM

The only major conference school that has a football team whose nickname I didn't get was Cal, I kept typing Bears and was getting pissed because I knew they were the Bears. I forgot about they're "Golden".

Since I don't care about college basketball, not getting Providence, Georgetown, DePaul, Marquette or whatever Big East basketball only school didn't matter to me.

**Todd** · 07-06-2008, 08:36 AM

i got 54 damn big East

**Todd** · 07-06-2008, 08:47 AM

68/73 on nicknames

**tigerkid23** · 07-06-2008, 02:15 PM

62/73 on teams
59/73 on nicknames

Big East got me as well.

**DTroppens** · 07-07-2008, 09:23 PM

Don't have time to do this now but I can tell you in my prime for college basketball-dom I'm pretty sure I would've gotten 99% of the schools in the right conferences IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL (D1). I used to keep a top 40 that grew into a top 50 and then a top 64 when I was in high school. That meant keeping up to date with the best teams in each conference in my notebook. I'd get USA Today and figure out what each team on my poll did each night and post the results.

Still today I often classify a team with the conference it was in 1988 more than today. Today I bet I could get 50% if I was lucky.

**belcherboy** · 07-07-2008, 09:57 PM

**shabba4detroit** · 07-08-2008, 01:09 AM

Texas Tech and Marquette. Colors were involved.

**DetroitFolly** · 07-08-2008, 09:47 AM

Got all the team names, with the exception of Marquette (I typed Warriors...forgot they changed) and the Vanderbilt Commodores.

**Ron Burgandy** · 07-08-2008, 03:41 PM

Got all of the teams but 1 - blanked on Notre Dame in the Big East.

For nicknames, I got all but 3 - Ole Miss, Washington State, and Stanford. I kicked myself for each after seeing the answer.

56 as well. Big East was the one I missed the most (didn't try Notre Dame because I instantly thought of football and the independent deal). Also missed several ACC teams, a Big 12, and a Pac 10.

53 on nicknames.
