Can't find a team that fits the clue.

Florida Atlantic is 6-4 not 4-6.
Memphis is 4-6-1.
Temple is 4-5.

EDIT: Brain-fart, I didn't even check UNLV, which turned out to be #111.

Quote:UP NEXT:

Who's No. 111?
This program is 4-6 in games played after November.

I THINK that New Mexico is next at #110.

Quote:UP NEXT:

Who's No. 110?
This team's starting quarterback's high school is named after the school district's longtime superintendent.

New Mexico starting QB Cole Gautsche went to Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho, NM.

V. Sue Cleveland High School is named after long time Rio Rancho Superintendent, V. Sue Cleveland.

Tulane is next at #109.

Quote:UP NEXT:

Who's No. 109?
This university is named after a philanthropist who born in the North but gave generously to South during the Civil War.

The Tulane University of Louisiana was re-named after Paul Tulane, who was born near Princeton, New Jersey.

During the American Civil War, Tulane was the largest donor in New Orleans to the Confederate States of America.

I THINK that UConn or Troy is next at a #107.

EDIT: UConn, Troy and Middle Tennessee State all fit the clue. It may be UConn actually.

EDIT: Kent State is #107.

Quote:UP NEXT:

Who's No. 107?

Missouri fits the clue, but its way to early for them

http://www.mutigers.com/sports/w-soccer/...sched.html

Texas also fits the clue

Texas may be a typo, they may have gone 3-5-1.

The only FBS teams that fit the clue (if Texas is a typo) are Missouri and New Mexico and New Mexico has already been listed. I agree that it is too early for Missouri. Also, Charlotte fits the clue but they aren't FBS this year.

I suspect that Paul forgot to update the clue after switching his list around. ODU was probably listed right behind New Mexico in an earlier version of his list.

EDIT: Wyoming went 3-4-2. Wake Forest went 3-5-1.

EDIT: It's Wake Forest at #105.

I THINK that Air Force is next at #102.

I counted 27 games, but I probably missed one somewhere.

EDIT: I found the one I missed earlier. It's 28 games for Air Force since 2010 for allowing opponents to gain at least 400 yards of offense.

Air Force is next.

Quote: UP NEXT:

Who's No. 102?
This program has allowed the opposition to gain at least 400 yards of offense 28 times since the start of the 2010 season.

Air Force games allowing opponents to gain at least 400 yards of offense
2010: 3
2011: 6
2012: 9
2013: 10

Quote:Who's No. 101? This school opened its doors on the same day as the first legal appearance of the forward pass in college football, albeit in different years.

The first legal forward pass occurred on Sept. 5, 1906 in game between SLU and Carroll College

USF had its ground breaking on Sept. 5th.

RE: Paul Myerberg's 2014 College Football Countdown: #128 to #1
Colorado is #101.

I THINK that Southern Methodist is next at #100.

Seven of the inductees were inducted as offensive players; however, of the three inducted as coaches, two had played on the offensive side of the ball as players.

West Virginia could fit the clue as well. Five of the inductees were inducted as offensive players and two inductees inducted as coaches played on the offensive side of the ball as players.

Depending on the interpretation of the clue, one of these schools fits the clue.

Texas Christian may fit the clue as well.

Quote:UP NEXT:

Who's No. 100?
Ten individuals who either played or coached at this school are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Of these 10 inductees, seven played on the offensive side of the ball.

SMU College Football Hall of Fame inductees
Jerry LeVias - Wide Receiver
Gerald Mann - Quarterback
Don Meredith - Quarterback
Jerry Rhome - Quarterback
Kyle Rote - Halfback
Doak Walker - Halfback
Bobby Wilson - Halfback
Matty Bell - Coach
Hayden Fry - Coach
Ray Morrison - Coach

WVU College Football Hall of Fame inductees
Bruce Bosley - Tackle
Major Harris - Quarterback
Sam Huff - Guard/Tackle
Ira "Rat" Rodgers - Fullback
Joe "Jumbo Joe" Stydahar - Tackle
Bobby Bowden - Coach (played QB and RB)
Don Nehlen - Coach (played QB)
Darryl Talley - Linebacker
Frank Cignetti - Coach
Greasy Neale - Coach

I THINK that Iowa State is next at #99.

Quote:
UP NEXT:

Who's No. 99?
This team's offensive coordinator would have the sixth-most career victories among active head coaches in his current conference.

Iowa State offensive coordinator Mark Mangino has 50 career wins.

Career wins among current Big 12 coaches
178 - Bill Snyder
160 - Bob Stoops
120 - Gary Patterson
78 - Art Briles
77 - Mike Gundy
39 - Charlie Weis
37 - Carlie Strong
27 - Paul Rhodes
21 - Dana Holgorsen
8 - Kliff Kingsbury

It seems that Illinois would fit because Bill Cubit has 85 head coaching wins in his career; however, he seems to rank 5th among the current Big Ten coaches.

I THINK that Rutgers is next at #98.

EDIT: I misread the clue. It's not Washington State.

Quote:
UP NEXT:

Who's No. 98?
This team's current coach is one of four in school history to win six or more games in a season despite his team being outscored by the opposition.

Rutgers Coaches who won 6 games but were outscored
1896: John Pendleton went 6-7 and was outscored 74 - 226.
1928: Harry Rockafeller went 6-3 but was outscored 97 - 116.
1987: Dick Anderson went 6-5 but was outscored 168 - 213.
2013: Kyle Flood went 6-7 but was outscored 345 - 387.

I'll GUESS that Texas State is next at #97.

EDIT: Florida Atlantic is #97.

Quote:
UP NEXT:

According to this university's estimate, the 12-month cost of attendance for international students is the same as the average American's share of publicly held debt as of January 2013.


Texas State: http://www.international.txstate.edu/pro...ition.html
Quote:Estimated Cost for Non-Texas Resident International Students: $35,284.00

http://blog.heritage.org/2013/01/21/char...rocketing/
Quote:each person’s share of the debt is $36,267

Close enough.

Here's North Texas: http://international.unt.edu/sites/defau...013-14.pdf

There are probably a lot of Universities that come close to this figure.

West Tennessee State is next at #96.

Quote:
UP NEXT:

Who's No. 96?
This program's highest single-game point total of the last eight years came on the same day the program clinched its most recent winning season.

- West Tennessee State's last winning season came in 2007 when it went 7-6.

- West Tennessee State clinched that winning season with its 7th win on 11/24 by beating Southern Miss 55-52.

- That 55-point effort was the most points scored in a single game by West Tennessee State during the last eight years.

- West Tennessee State scored 59 points in a win (against a FCS team) during the 2005 season, the season before this 8-year span.
