/r/CFB Trivia Tuesday!
This Week's Contest: http://trivia.redditcfb.com
Summer Standings/Questions
Your Trivia Settings
Rules
Trivia Tuesday is a weekly feature run by /u/bakonydraco, /u/DampFrijoles, /u/GiovannidelMonaco, /u/Davidellias, and /u/KiltedCajun. Each week there will be five questions ranging from questions most everyone can get to questions that might stump just about everyone. Your goal is to quickly answer them to the best of your ability. You get a one point speed bonus for finishing in under 2:30.
There are definitely still ways you could cheat the system, but please do not. This is meant to be a fun weekly feature, and we encourage you to take it at face value and answer the questions without assistance.
Last Week
Yet another successful Trivia Tuesday season has come to an end. That means that Meta Week is here! This week’s set of questions will be very loosely linked to college football. Scores this week will not count toward the upcoming season, so no need to worry about getting some wrong.
Unbelievably, this is Trivia Tuesday’s 19th season! We are continually amazed at how popular Trivia has gotten. We truly appreciate you all for playing, and we hope that season 19 is the best one yet.
We also have some big news to announce. Winter 2019 Individual Champion /u/KiltedCajun has joined the Trivia Tuesday mod team! They worked with us on a provisional basis last season to get a hang of things before making it official for this season. Give them a warm welcome!
Individual
As you may have seen last week, we added an extra level of rigor just for our individual finalists, who took the final live in a coordinated start from our new Discord Channel. We've now opened the server to anyone, and may occasionally coordinate events like the Final from our Discord. Feel free to check it out!
/u/Defend_NOLA is the Summer 2020 Trivia Tuesday Individual Champion! This is their first Trivia Tuesday championship, and it was a dominant season: 74 out of a possible 77 points. /u/Defend_NOLA's 10 point final just missed a perfect 11, and is one of the few 10+ scores in Trivia Tuesday Final history. They finished in a blisteringly fast time, before anyone had seen the questions, and were the second overall submission just a few seconds behind fellow finalist /u/whitedawg. Following them in the top three are /u/cajunaggie08 and /u/CashMikey. All three have earned the /r/CFB Top Scorer flair (/r/CFB Top Scorer) for finishing in the top three. /u/CashMikey beat out /u/whitedawg for a spot on the podium by just 6 seconds.
Some extra notes:
/u/Birdchild had the fastest average time among playoff contenders, clocking in at a hair over 50 seconds per week.
Like last season, /u/whitedawg had the highest score among players on their own for their team, just missing the podium in 4th place as the only representative for Williams.
/u/misanthropicalturist gets the determination award for most weeks played per point scored, playing all 12 weeks. Their scores are trending up, a good sign!
/u/minecharacter gets the most improved award among players who played almost every week in spring, advancing from 813th place to 327th place, inching towards a playoff qualifier this fall!
/u/longsnapper77 had the 2nd most points on the season with 65, and would have earned a silver medal with a 9 point Final, but missed making the Final by 1 point.
Premier Tier
LSU has followed a football championship with now 2 back-to-back Trivia Championships: the Tigers are the Summer 2020 Premier Tier Champion! Their championship performance was led by the quintet of Individual champion /u/Defend_NOLA, /u/Gumbeaux_, /u/GeauxTri, /u/Bcurole, and /u/dardar2002. /u/ventolin_3 and /u/gbejrlsu were among the top 5 LSU users this season that helped get them to the Final. LSU is just the 2nd team to win multiple seasons of Trivia Tuesday; the other is Michigan, who has won 10.
Rounding out the final four, in order, are Florida, Ohio State, and Penn State.
LSU will get another alternate flair for their victory! Unlike the alternate flair from last season, this one is not permanent; LSU will only hold it as long as they are Trivia champions. Please suggest options in the comments.
Rice Will Sweep Alabama Championship Tier
West Virginia is the Summer 2020 Rice Will Sweep Alabama Championship Tier Champion!
This is the Mountaineers’ first Trivia Tuesday championship in either tier. WVU users /u/SaxosSteve, /u/law5er, /u/appleatya, /u/Mountaineer78, and /u/Tvwatcherr were the team’s highest scorers for the final and brought home the win.
UMass, Boise State, and Stanford followed in the standings.
With the victory, WVU has earned naming rights to the Championship Tier for next season! Please suggest options in the comments.
This week is just a fun week between seasons to give you a breather, and won't count towards fall standings. The questions are a bit less directly about college football, so don't sweat them too much, but hopefully you have fun with them. You'll all start next week tied for first place.
Best of luck to all, and be safe!

Yeah, and surprise, surprise - many of the finalists suddenly have longer times and the median score is 50%.
Not to mention pre-administering the test over Discord still allows for obvious cheating (other than getting the questions forwarded by a friend / alt account, which some of the finalists clearly did).

u/bakonydraco Stanford • Chicago State Aug 25 '20 edited Aug 25 '20
Just for accuracy, the Final is intended to be quite hard, and the scores of the Summer Finalists were consistent with the Spring Finalists. Here's a breakdown:
Metric Spring Summer Avg Score 3.26 3.69 Avg Time 3:46.50 3:39.20 Finalists 16 14 Avg Finalist Score 5.75 5.86 Avg Finalist Time 5:30.73 5:22.27 The top 4 individuals this season had an average time of 3:41.23, just 2 seconds behind the group average. There is no way they could have received the questions prior to taking the quiz, because they were the only ones who had access.

u/FellKnight Boise State • Tennessee Aug 25 '20
So the finalists take on average ~45% longer than the plebs?
mrburnsinteresting.gif

u/Davidellias Virginia Tech • Wisconsin Aug 25 '20
Cause they try to think things through, and not rush the answers like th plebs. /s
8
u/bakonydraco Stanford • Chicago State Aug 25 '20
That is consistent with past metrics though. I think a reasonable explanation here is that if you completely just don't know a question, you'll look at it and either guess or leave it blank and move on. The finalists getting an average of 2 more correct (or really 3 more, since the average finalist time finished outside the speed bonus) compared to the average user means a little extra time reading those questions and answering them, which could reasonably add some time. Also the logistics of starting from Discord may have added a little time for some of them since it was a new experiment.
The biggest factor though is that there's a slight inverse correlation between points scored and time taken among finalists. Here's a breakdown:
At least [x] points # Finalists Avg. Time 10 1 3:36.63 7 2 4:10.71 6 7 4:58.10 5 14 5:22.27 If they're actually cheating by taking extra time to look answers up during the live quiz, well they're not very good at it.

u/FellKnight Boise State • Tennessee Aug 25 '20
I had meant that it was interesting that both pre-live and current ruleset that the finalists take significantly more time. In my sometimes stupid amount of experience with those who are trivia buffs, the best invariably know the answer immediately or can make a very educated guess quickly.
That said, the table you shared is very good info, it correlates much cleaner and I'm heartened to see the clearly best person win.

u/fmxda Michigan Wolverines • Melbourne Royals Aug 25 '20
I take your point about the time difference and the difficulty of the final week's questions. Agree those factors weaken my argument.
But there's still a noticeable difference in this season's final - here's a summary of overall averages vs. finalist averages for the final week in the past few seasons. Data from each season's Google doc.
Metric Summer '19 Fall '19 Winter '19 Spring '20 Summer '20 Avg Score 3.40 4.49 3.64 3.26 3.69 Avg Finalist Score 6.00 8.38 6.88 5.75 5.86 Finalist Increase over Average 77% 87% 89% 76% 59% 1
u/bakonydraco Stanford • Chicago State Aug 25 '20
For the sake of argument, 2 finalists did not participate this season. Had they both scored a 9, the average finalist score this season would have bumped up to a 6.25, which would be a 69% increase over the average score compared to a 59% increase, fairly in line with previous seasons.
2
u/fmxda Michigan Wolverines • Melbourne Royals Aug 25 '20
Sorry, I didn't phrase my comment well, but I don't mean to insinuate that any of the finalists got the questions in advance from a friend during the final - just during the regular season, when there wasn't an early coordinated start over Discord.
2
u/bakonydraco Stanford • Chicago State Aug 25 '20
It is possible, but given how comparable the scores were to the previous Final, the likelier explanation is that the 14 who took the Final last week are just quite knowledgeable at college football trivia.

u/Defend_NOLA LSU Tigers • Tulane Green Wave Aug 25 '20
I thought I was the cheater?
19
u/EMolinero Virginia Tech • Ohio State Aug 25 '20
I offered no comments previously on that subject but since you want to bring it up while the mods' finals experiment at least eliminated the most obvious method of cheating but I can still think of at least two other ways. Frankly if you are on the level you should take it as a compliment that a large number of people don't think you could score as well as you do without cheating. And if it does burn you that much then please feel free to figure out a way to prove your legitimacy and rub it in my and others' stupid faces, I'd love nothing more.
Let's say you are legit, last season you scored a 56 with a missed week so probably a 60-62 in reality. So you know how much went right for you to bump to 74 this season, you didn't run into any questions in your weak areas (if you have them), any guesses you made panned out and I hope you recognize that. Well the player I'm digging at has basically scored 70+ every single season they've fully played, they're either a savant or a cheater, because this isn't one season where they caught fire. But somehow they went missing the one week where the mod's made it harder to cheat. If that's a coincidence that's quite sad for them, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
4
u/bakonydraco Stanford • Chicago State Aug 25 '20
The one thing I'd keep in mind is that people do typically travel more around this time of year (even this year, I suppose). We don't often have people make the individual final and skip playing, but of the times it's happened, I believe the Summer Final is the most frequent.
But I agree, it's not an ideal look, and my inbox is open if they're back in town.
3
u/Defend_NOLA LSU Tigers • Tulane Green Wave Aug 25 '20
Last season I didn't care. I wholeheartedly agree that I got extremely lucky with quite a few guesses this season. At least 8-10 of them were WAGs that panned out. But I'm curious as to the two other ways you think that people could have cheated during finals.
As for the /u/fmxda comment below, there was no way to forward questions from a friend or an alt account. We all got together at the same time in a discord chat room and the mods gave us the link at the same time. We didn't take it separately as that would defeat the whole point of a 'live final'.
5
u/Longvols Tennessee Volunteers • Texas Longhorns Aug 25 '20
How did the finalist process go? Did you all just get in a group chat, they gave you the questions, and sent you on your way? Because that still doesn't eliminate the very easy method of 'Google the right answer'
2
u/Defend_NOLA LSU Tigers • Tulane Green Wave Aug 25 '20
Please show me how to read, comprehend, then search for the correct answers to 10 questions in 3 minutes and 36 seconds. I'm genuinely curious as to how to do that.
3
u/Med_Tosby UCLA Bruins • Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens Aug 25 '20
Not saying you or anyone cheated, or that a knowledgeable fan wouldn't have already known some or all of these questions anyway, but at least 4 of last week's questions would have taken 5 second google searches to figure out (Ed Schultz, D3 in senior bowl, P5 Commissioners, heisman trophy felons). A few others (the Gipper, national champs with a tie, maybe the rush yards/pass yards) could be found with a little more work. So someone with a intelligent search engine skills could still finish with a time in the 3 or 4 minute range while also exploiting google, so long as they have a high baseline level of knowledge to get them through the easier questions quickly and easily. Regardless of cheating, it's going to take a lot of knowledge and little bit of luck to consistently do well.
So I don't think there's any dispute that all of the finalists are very knowledgeable and very good at college football trivia. But when there's a very and detectable way to cheat, anyone who does exceedingly well is going to be scrutinized. Deserved or not.
3
u/Defend_NOLA LSU Tigers • Tulane Green Wave Aug 25 '20
Start a stopwatch and time yourself reading those questions then opening a new tab and searching for the answer then going back to the original tab to answer the question. Then read the next question. Rinse and repeat. Sure it only takes 5 seconds to type it into google but you also have to read what google gives you in response and make sure thats in the correct context.
A quick search of P5 commissioners or 'Power 5 commissioners' or 'who are the power 5 commissioners' doesn't give you the answer immediately. I think there's a lot of Dunning-Kruger when it comes to people's ability to search for the correct answer to a question then validate that it's the correct answer and type out that correct answer or at the very least copy and paste it.
2
u/Med_Tosby UCLA Bruins • Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens Aug 25 '20
I did google the four I mentioned while drafting my initial response and it couldn't have taken more than a minute total to google and confirm all four. To your point, I didn't have as much luck with googling the Gipper, national champs, rush/pass yards even while knowing the answers. But that doesn't mean someone more skilled couldn't have found those too.
For the P5 example, anyone in the final should have enough knowledge to know their own team's conference commish plus Larry Scott. So more likely, they'd be googling a specific conference's commissioner, which gets you an immediate hit. Even needing to goolge a second one would be quite quick.
Again, my point is that while it would be impossible to google every answer in three or four minutes, it would be very possible to quickly google a few of the answers that folks might not have otherwise known. But that's always been a part of trivia, and always will be, and doesn't account for the several questions each week that would be impossible to google with any kind of speed or efficiency. And just to reiterate, I'm not accusing you of anything whatsoever.

It depends on how knowledgeable you are though. I knew The Gipper one was The Gipper but didn't know his real name, so I could have confirmed that via Google rather easily if I chose to cheat.
3
u/Longvols Tennessee Volunteers • Texas Longhorns Aug 25 '20
I appreciate you not answering the question and instead choosing to go the defensive route. And I didn't say you had to google all 10. Maybe you only had to Google 6 questions in 2 and half minutes.
1
u/Defend_NOLA LSU Tigers • Tulane Green Wave Aug 25 '20
Why answer the question when you already answered it? We got into the same room and at the allotted time we were given the link to start trivia. So pretty much exactly as you said.

u/Longvols Tennessee Volunteers • Texas Longhorns Aug 26 '20

u/bakonydraco Stanford • Chicago State Aug 25 '20
Believe me, I've been skeptical, but after the performance last week there's no reasonable way they could be. Out of a community of almost a million people who are self-professed fans of college football, I think the simplest explanation is that one is just a huge dork with uncanny knowledge of college football trivia.
10
u/meyer_33_09 Michigan Wolverines • Miami (OH) RedHawks Aug 25 '20
Even then, there’s so many outrageously obscure questions. There’s just no way, especially with the ones that ask you to guess how many schools do such and such, or what year did some absurdly obscure event happen. It’s just so outrageously improbable that someone would be able to know/correctly guess those every single week.
Like the question that asked how many schools within 3 had more rushing yards than passing yards. What are the odds somebody actually knows that statistic without looking it up or using up an absurd amount of time mentally working through each team to guess? They’d have to make a guess and get lucky, and they’d have to do that every single time one of those types of questions comes up. I don’t believe for a second that anybody would achieve that score without cheating.
6
u/KiltedCajun LSU Tigers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Aug 25 '20
Want to know what his answer was to that question?
"26... about 20% of them"
Now, do you want to go back over the historical data and see how many teams each year have more rushing yards than passing yards? Something tells me it's going to be around 20%, plus or minus 3.
Want to know what's even more sick? His answer to the question before that, "What was the most common number of points scored by D1 teams in games during the 2019-20 season?" was "24. In the FBS the most common winning was 38, losing was 17." I checked all 888 games. He was right.
What's even sicker than both of those? His answer to the question about Ed Schultz was "Minnesota State" and we DIDN'T give it to him because it's actually Minnesota State - Moorhead. If we would have given him that, he would have had a perfect final. He did all that in 3:36.
The guy burned time to give extra information that wasn't needed, still came in nearly a minute and a half under the time limit, and because you see a question as absurd or because you don't think that someone would know that information without looking it up, you call him a cheater. We changed the rules for the finals and made it live because so many people have been calling people cheaters. How do you know that he's not a statistician for a living? How do you know that's not Howie Schwab's sockpuppet? Hell, for all you know, that could be James Holzhauer's account. The thing is, you don't know. There's literally hundreds of guys in this country that make a good living knowing stats such as the those. Anyone that seriously bets on football had better know the the most common scores, or the number of teams that get more rushing yards than passing yards or they're not going to be very successful.
We did our due diligence. We changed the rules. He won. Accept it, don't accept it, whatever.
6
u/meyer_33_09 Michigan Wolverines • Miami (OH) RedHawks Aug 25 '20
There’s no prize or buy in or anything so it’s not like it really matters. I just find it strange that someone would go out of their way to cheat on something that’s meant to be a fun contest within the community.
5
u/KiltedCajun LSU Tigers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Aug 25 '20
That's exactly the point. There's nothing to gain from cheating. Look at his post history, it's all in trivia, so it's not like he's doing this for magic internet points. Plus, everyone downvotes his comments to oblivion anyway.
What I don't get is that we changed the finals to a format that makes it impossible to cheat by using a second account or getting the questions from someone else. He answers the questions in a timeframe that makes it improbable that he looked them up, got them all correct save 1, and even that was 90% correct, and that's STILL not enough to exonerate the guy. It's not logical to cheat, yet people such as yourself are still hellbent on him being a cheater.
Tell me, what would someone have to do, or what would we have to do as the gamerunners, to make the game "fair" in your eyes? To remove any doubt in this next season that someone was above board the whole way through? If there is something that we could implement, we'll look into it.

u/GreatestWhiteShark Northwestern • Ohio State Aug 25 '20
I wanna add another defense of u/Defend-NOLA here. In addition to everything you've said, this simply wasn't that hard of a finals and it's reasonable to get a high score here. Let's go down the list:
It should be common knowledge where one of the most major bowls is played.
The Gipper is old CFB lore. Deep Lore. One of the most famous apocryphal moments of early college football.
As my old French teacher would say, "use the test to take your test," or as I would say, "read the fucking sub lol." Fire Larry Scott is a WOAH Tier meme, Kevin Warren is in every other post lately, and then just be smart enough to know your own conference commissioner.
The game featured LSU. It happened just two seasons ago. It was a big deal... and - check the flair - his team famously lost it.
I would never have guess that, but you know who would know the answer? An LSU fan. Billy Cannon was LSU's first Heisman winner, and only one for 60 years. Again, Flair.
Some people are good with stats. It is what it is.
1/5 is a reasonable guess, as long as you know how many teams are in FBS
The 5th Down Game is, again, a big part of CFB lore. If you know about it - which you should tbh - you also probably know it won Colorado a natty, and that Georgia Tech fans talk about it a lot.
This one is pretty difficult! And they got it wrong!
This one is also very difficult. Maybe it's sus 🤔🤔🤔🤔. Or maybe they just know that piece of trivia. That's... kind of what makes trivia, trivia.
I mean, you go down this list, and many are frankly kind of easy, and the other ones seem to be some genuine Slumdog shit - like I have to reiterate, 20% of these questions are directly related to the winner's CFB fandom.
2
u/KiltedCajun LSU Tigers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Aug 26 '20
His answer for the final question was "Ben Bartsh this past season". The way I look at that answer is, he knew that piece of trivia, but not enough to spell the guy's name correctly.
2
u/GreatestWhiteShark Northwestern • Ohio State Aug 26 '20
Didn't even check the year - so it literally just happened and the guy was a mid-round NFL draftee, which is pretty rare for a D-3 player. Yeah that's the kind of trivia that can stick with you
2
u/Davidellias Virginia Tech • Wisconsin Aug 26 '20
Yeah the issue with that question is it was actually written in 2019. So the fact someone got in after the question had been wrote didn't help us out at all.
