How it works
- Five fresh prompts daily. New set appears at your local midnight.
- One play per device per day. Keeps streaks & leaderboards fair.
- Instant feedback. See which picks you nailed; get a clean results card.
- Share (no spoilers). Post your card to challenge friends.
Scoring & streaks
- Base score: +20 per correct; perfect-game bonus +50.
- Speed tiebreaker: your completion time breaks ties.
- Streaks: consecutive days add a small multiplier to base.
Strategy tips
- Era → coach → scheme: matching an era with a coach or scheme (Air Raid, option, pro-style) narrows answers fast.
- Conference breadcrumbs: realignment history can be the giveaway—think which league a team was in that season.
- Heisman heuristics: position + school archetypes often point to a short list of winners.
Why play college football trivia?
This isn't just about memorizing mascots. College football history is a complex web of eras, schemes, and geographies. Navigating this web exercises your semantic network—your brain's ability to link disparate facts (like a 1990s scheme to a 2020s coach). It challenges you to recall detailed statistics under time pressure, sharpening your working memory and rapid decision-making skills.
