College football has sadly come to an end after Ohio St. beat Notre Dame in the National Championship. There were a lot of great games and moments this year, but let’s see how much you were paying attention. The council of Yaks and I have come together to give you a quiz on the 2024-2025 CFB season.
I know there are a lot of colleges out there so do not worry there is no trivia specific Kennesaw or Akron (unless you attend one of those then I am sorry to put short handed) but this will have some general questions that smaller schools may be apart of, But if your a fan of College Football like the Yaks are then you should do great. Comment your score below and I welcome any suggestions of what you want me to do the next quiz on…
