On Friday, you tackled the ACC. Today, let’s shift midwest and see how well you know the Big Ten. (Hint: There are 11.)

Take the quiz: Name the Big Ten in 1 Minute

And don’t forget to stop by on Saturday as we kick off our second mental_floss College Weekend. Those crazy kids are working on some great stories.

  1. As an alumnus of Michigan State, I appreciate the nod to our conference, but why was it that University of Michigan was the only school where you had to enter the whole name? That’s the only one I missed and I obviously knew they existed, since we lived to hate U of M throughout college.

  2. I’m glad you asked. If we programmed it to accept ‘Michigan,’ you wouldn’t be able to enter ‘Michigan State’ because the quiz gobbles up answers as soon as they’re complete.

    ‘University of Michigan’ and ‘Michigan U’ would have been accepted. And yes, we know ‘Michigan U’ isn’t the correct name.

  3. 6 out of 10. Not bad, considering I don’t follow any sports. (I did graduate from U of Illinois, but it was the Springfield campus.)

  4. Got ‘em all, but I did graduate from Wisconsin.

  5. I did much better with the Big Ten than with the ACC. Could be because I go to Ohio State.

    10/11 - Oddly, I missed Penn State.

  8. Missed three. Not too bad for a sub-par conference. :) Go Big XII!

  9. Please do more of these.
    I didn’t do great. I missed 4. But I love these quizzes.

  10. I did far better then I expected, but alls I did was put down names of Midwestern states, since I have no earthly idea who is in what conference in any sport except hockey.

  11. We will have a name the SEC quiz, right? The only thing stopping me from finishing that one in 12 seconds will be the speed of my typing.

  12. 7/11

    I don’t think that’s too bad. I’m ready for the Big XII though! :)

  13. I loved this test and the ACC test, but it seems like 3 minutes would be a better time limit.

  14. Well I feel sheepish: I requested this quiz, but then blanked on Penn State and Minnesota. Sorry, Tubby!
