There are so many teams that play college football in the USA. In Division 1 alone, there are 131 FBS teams in a total of 11 conferences. The top 4 teams play for a national championship each year. At a lower level, there are 125 FCS teams that particpate in an annual 24 team playoff. In the last few years, there's been a number of teams that have switched conferences. In 2024, two PAC-12 schools are joining the Big 10! Adding to the confusion is the fact that some teams don't belong to any conference. They are called Independents. It becomes hard to keep track of things even for the sharpest fans. How about you? Do you think you can identify which team plays in which conference? I will provide the team. It's up to you to tell me where they play. Let's find out how much you know!

Dave is an accomplished economics instructor with over two decades of experience in the prestigious International Baccalaureate program. His students have consistently ranked in the top 10% annually, and one year they achieved the highest overall class average in the world. This outstanding achievement led a UK publisher to request that he write a textbook, an offer he declined in favor of creating sports quizzes, which he found more engaging.

In addition to his teaching career, Dave is also a former high school football coach, having won a couple of local championships. While he wishes he had won more, he continues to be deeply involved in football as a scout, recruiter, and social media creator for a university football team.

Dave's passions extend beyond the classroom and football field. He is an avid fan of live music and international travel, often combining these interests. He has traveled to Spain, England, Iceland, and Chile to see bands perform. His greatest pride and joy is his daughter, who has recently excelled in powerlifting. In just a few years, she has become the Canadian record holder for the bench press in her weight class and finished second overall in the combined national event (bench, deadlift, and squat) in Moose Jaw in March 2024. She will be representing Canada at the World Bench Competition in Austin, Texas, in May 2024.

A die-hard fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, Dave has experienced his share of sports heartache, having seen them play in seven NFL cities with six losses. His all-time favorite athlete is Don Mattingly, reflecting his deep love for sports that spans many arenas.
