Thursday Trivia

In partnership with

Morning Thoughts:

Only two more weeks until Christmas, which now features NBA and NFL matchups. Lucky us.

Today’s Trivia:

This week, the Heisman trophy finalists were named:

Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza (QB), Ohio State’s Julian Sayin (QB), Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia (QB), and Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love (RB).

Mendoza is expected to win the award, which means it will be another year since a running back took home the award.

Who was the last running back to win the Heisman Trophy?

Hint:

Only two of these running backs actually won the Heisman trophy

Fun fact:

You might want to save this list for your March Madness bracket because history shows us that the national champion is one of these 12 teams:

  1. Arizona — 8-0

  2. Michigan — 8-0

  3. Duke — 10-0

  4. Iowa State — 9-0

  5. UConn — 8-1

  6. Purdue — 8-1

  7. Houston — 8-1

  8. Gonzaga — 9-1

  9. Michigan State — 8-1

  10. BYU — 7-1

  11. Louisville — 8-1

  12. Alabama — 7-2

For the last 36 seasons, 35 champions (and the last 21) were ranked in the top 12 of the week 6 AP poll.

Why the week 6 AP poll: At this time in the season, the majority of teams have faced their toughest non-conference schedule (think all those early non-conference tournaments).
