Welcome to Trivia Time, the community quiz that will unequivocally prove how smart the community is...or not. We believe that Eleven Warriors is home to the most knowledgeable Buckeye fans on the planet. It is now time for you to prove it.

Below, you will find 10 questions. The answer with the most votes for each question will be the "community answer". The answers and community grade will be revealed at the bottom of next week's Trivia Time.

After dispatching the Badgers two weeks ago, Ohio State turns its attention to Maryland. It might be easy for the Buckeyes to overlook the Terrapins, but upsets of seasons past should keep this year's team focused. Especially since the Terps took Ohio State into overtime last year and were a two-point conversion away from a massive upset.

Today's questions are based on Ohio State's past performances against Maryland and some general knowledge about this week's foe.

In between this week's questions, you will find the results of last week's Trivia Time based on the Ohio State and Wisconsin.

Two simple rules: Please use your brain (not a search engine) and only play once.

Difficulty: 1st and goal from the 1
Last Week's Questions 

Where is Wisconsin's main campus located?
Green Bay......0%
Madison........100%
Milwaukee.....0%
Oshkosh........0%

The university was founded in 1839 and the main campus is located in Madison.

Who is Wisconsin's head football coach?
Walter Chrysler.....0%
Jesus Chryst.........0%
Keller Chryst.........0%
Paul Chryst...........100%

No, Jesus Chryst is not the answer, but I have a feeling Wisconsin's coaching staff was saying a variation of that name quite a bit on the 26th.

Paul Chryst was born in Madison, Wisconsin and played quarterback and tight end for the Badgers from 1986-88. After being an assistant coach for various collegiate and professional teams over 23 seasons, Pittsburgh gave Chryst his first head coaching job in 2012. After going 19–19 with the Panthers, Chryst received the call from Wisconsin and headed back home.

Chryst has been the Badgers head coach since 2015. In time the program has a 67–32 overall record and is 30–9 in Big Ten play. Wisconsin has played in four consecutive bowl games and won them all. Last year was the first time the Badgers did not finish a season ranked in the top 25 under Chryst's regime.

Difficulty: 2nd and 5
Last Week's Questions   

Which team has the most Big Ten Championship Game wins? Hint, the number of wins is 3.
Michigan State.....4%
Ohio State............86%

The Buckeyes have won three out of their four Big Ten Championship Game appearances. Wisconsin and Michigan State each have two wins. After losing to Michigan State in 2013, the Scarlet and Gray has won their last three times in Lucas Oil Stadium.

Bucky Badger

What is the nickname of Wisconsin's mascot?
Bucky...........98%

Buddy...........1%
Butt-Head.....0%
Honey...........1%

Bucky made his first appearance as a human-like cartoon in the 1930s, but the familiar picture of the badgers wearing a sweater and walking with his chest out was made by Art Evans in 1940. His official name is Buckingham U. Badger.

Difficulty: 3rd and 10
Last Week's Questions 

Which team has the most Big Ten Championship Game appearances? Hint the number of appearances is 5.
Michigan State.....2%
Ohio State.............16%
Penn State.............0%
Wisconsin.............82%

The Badgers have made it to Lucas Oil Stadium five times. However, their only wins were in 2011 and 2012. If you were wondering, the Buckeyes have played in the Big Ten Championship Game four times.

What is Ohio State's longest winning streak against Wisconsin?
5.......20%
12.....34%
15.....25%
21.....21%

The Buckeyes won 21 straight games against the Badgers between 1960 and 1980. Ohio State currently has a six-game winning streak against Wisconsin. After getting five straight correct, the community misses its first question.

Difficulty: 4th and 15
Last Week's Questions 

Between 1960 and 1980, how many times did Ohio State lose to Wisconsin?
0.....38%

2.....44%

Zero, zilch, nada. Ohio State won 21 straight before the Badgers ended the streak in Camp Randall on October 10, 1981. Oh no, two straight incorrect answers.

This will be the ______ time the Buckeyes and Badgers have been ranked playing against each other.
5th …....12%
10th …...46%
20th …..37%
50th …..5%

Ohio State now 13–5–2 when playing Wisconsin in this scenario. The Buckeyes have won five straight when both teams are ranked. Uh, oh. That's three straight wrong answers.

Difficulty: Hail Mary
Last Week's Questions 

Which Ohio State coach has the most losses all-time against Wisconsin?
Earle Bruce........32%

Jim Tressel..........23%
John Wilce..........19%

Hayes went 23–1–2 against Wisconsin with the average score being 28-10. His lone loss being 12-3 in 1959. Wilce and Tressel both had four wins and four losses. That leaves Bruce with the most losses to the Badgers. He faced Wisconsin nine times and lost five of them (4–5).

Ohio State and Wisconsin have played each other 20 times when both teams are ranked. How many of those 20 games have the Buckeyes had the higher ranking?
16.....23%

17.....38%
18.....25%
19.....14%

16. Wisconsin had the better ranking in 2017, 2004, 1959 and 1954. The Buckeyes are 12–3–2 when they are the higher ranked team and are 6–1–1.

Last Week's Grade: D (60)

D
You get your first A+, then you follow it up with the worst performance of the year. Hopefully the Buckeyes don't follow your example against Maryland.

Ouch. In seven days, the community went from being nerds to dunces. After getting the season's first perfect grade, the community swings and misses.

Fortunately, Ohio State didn't do as poorly against Wisconsin as you did in Buckeye and Badger knowledge.

Time for you people to rededicate yourselves and hit the books. Hopeful that you get back on the A or B track.

Remember, the correct answers and community grade for this week's Trivia Time will be revealed at the bottom of next week's quiz.
