	Holy Cross is in Massachusetts

	Oops. Fixed. Thanks.

	I'm not a very strong typist. Did you have to choose colleges that were from our longest state names? Carpal tunnel syndrome thanks you for giving us one each from Utah and Ohio.

	Nice quiz. Just add some color.

	Great quiz. Love how every Philly Big 5 school is shouted out except Penn for obvious reasons

	@Hooby, yeah, cuz Rice is the ONLY school missing from this list. Sheesh.

	i think you could knock 5 minutes off the time limit. at least 4. way too much time.

	I'm not sure about non-obvious, and I think you were going for schools that didn't have a state name in it, but Virginia is known as the Old Dominion

	sobdennis:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 01:57 GMT	9 points
	Like the quiz. But couldn't Pennsylvania be a little less represented. Nothing against the Keystone state. But it was the answer to a lot of them.

	I know it doesn't have the state name in it, but I think most people should know where Brigham Young is. Good quiz.

	I live in Michigan and I didnt know Oakland university is in the state

	MikeN:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 02:41 GMT	3 points
	Is there a reason this is centered in the East?

	purplebackpack89:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 03:54 GMT	7 points
	26 of the 30 colleges on this quiz are east of the mississippi. Add more western colleges

	Thanks for the all of the comments. I used the "Best of the Best - March Madness" quiz as a basis, which is why Dartmouth made the cut -- they were finalists twice a long time ago. Then I filled out the rest by looking at the brackets from the last two years. I just stopped at 30, it definitely wasn't supposed to be exhaustive. Thanks everyone for playing -- 4th most played user created quiz today!

	Also, it would be fun to use examples that would really throw people off. Miami University comes to mind.

	You don't get west very much with this quiz. Lots of options. Southern Methodist, Baylor, St. Mary's, Drake, Tulane, Air Force, Pepperdine are just a few.

	there's a la salle college in massachusetts...and probably a lot of other places. Mainly I wouldn't being saying this if i knew where the famous la salle was

	johnlk:	Mar 30th, 2011 at 12:45 GMT	2 points
	I'd say Brigham Young, Old Dominion, and George Mason are pretty obvious if you know anything at all about history, especially the first two.

	slackercanada:	Mar 31st, 2011 at 20:56 GMT	2 points
	this quiz is to heavy on pa. also, there's a st. joe's. in Maine but they play in the NAIA and not NCAA DIV I.

	midlifecrisis:	Mar 31st, 2011 at 21:18 GMT	2 points
	good quiz and ripe for a sequel

	singin185:	Apr 1st, 2011 at 01:07 GMT	1 point
	I think there are a few more deceptive college names than those already listed (especially more so than ODU, Brigham Young and George Mason). And with 30 answers, there ought to be more than 18 unique states.

	koopa08:	Apr 3rd, 2011 at 04:47 GMT	1 point
	had this entire quiz set up but I was out of them for March and had to wait til April. Was gonna do them in pieces. Probably still well, but now it's not gonna be as original
