	The abbreviation for "state" (st) works for most, but it wouldn't work for Penn St. or Florida St. Otherwise, great quiz, especially since there are so many schools that aren't I-A anymore on there.

	I had no idea that Army had ever joined C-USA, though in a way it does make sense since USA is in the name of the conference and Army is one of the more patriotic schools...

	Nice quiz, nice to see the old Alma Mater William and Mary on a football quiz with the likes of BC, Florida St., Notre Dame, and Penn State. There are so few instances where that would ever happen!

	Wow, thanks everybody! My inspiration for this quiz (ages ago!) came when I was going through my dad's old stuff and I found a Penn State season preview magazine from 1990. Penn State had just announced it was joining the Big Ten, so there was a big article on the future of college football. I quote: "By the end of the 1990s, visions of the Division 1-A playoffs and a discarding of the current bowl system, of astronomical revenues and increased influence from television, of superconferences and the virtual vanishing of independents from the athletic scene, have evolved into real possibilities." And we're saying the same things 20 years later...some things never change.
