Overall, the most selected answer by the Eleven Warriors community on 9 out of 10 questions was the correct answer. On one question, an incorrect answer received more votes than the correct answer.

  • 61% thought Lucas Oil Stadium was the site that had never hosted a CFP National Championship Game. The dome in Indianapolis was where Georgia defeated Alabama, 33-18, on January 10, 2022, to conclude the 2021 season.  

Last year, the community had perfect scores for the Oregon, Nebraska, Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee and Rose Bowl games. Overall, the group answered 145 out of 160 questions correctly for an average of just under 91%. 

The bar has been set. Now it's time for the community to repeat last year's championship-level scores.
