[General Mike]

The Results have been tallied and here they are, voila:

1. Last year (2003-04) 28 post season bowl games were played in college football. How many total points were scored in those bowl games?

Last year a surprisingly high 1489 points were scored during the 28 bowl games. This was highlighted by the 102 combined points scored by Houston and Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl, and the 101 combined points scored by Virginia Tech and California in the Insight Bowl.

[SirFozzie]

Fifth place.. not so bad.. Now you know why I created this game.. I'll never get a chance to earn hosting of it

[Radii]

Wow, first one of these I've ever been totally shutout in. Grats RPI-fan.

[JeeberD]

I'm happy with my seven points. Though for the last question my inital thought was 45 minutes, but then I though that might be a touch low. If I had gone with my first instict I would have won, dangit...

Good game, GM...

[finkenst]

dang...
2nd place.

[kingfc22]

not bad finishing 4th after getting shutout in the first 3 questions
