How did you do?

A few things hiding in this set. The nickname round has three Tigers (LSU, Auburn, Missouri) and two Bulldogs (Georgia, Mississippi State), which is why SEC trivia is a minefield for the overconfident. The bank's school file also calls Ole Miss simply "Mississippi," as it did in question 8, so count yourself right if you said Rebels and wondered about the wording.

Nine of the ten men in the draft round were first-round picks. The exception is the reason question 40 is the only one in the round that asks for a round instead of a team: Derrick Henry, a Heisman winner and future rushing champion, lasted until Round 2. The Heisman round runs from George Rogers in 1980 to Johnny Manziel in 2012, six winners from five schools, with Florida supplying two of them, Wuerffel and Tebow. That spread is as good a map as any of how the league's power has rotated.

Count the Tigers and Bulldogs carefully and this set is friendlier than it looks. The bank holds thousands more SEC questions where these came from, including a draft file deep enough to ask about almost anyone who ever wore the uniform. Play the daily version in Gridiron Trivia, and if you want to know how Texas and Oklahoma ended up in an SEC quiz in the first place, our conference realignment map tells that whole strange story.
