College Championship: schools represented
[php snippet=49]
Some trivia on the Jeopardy! College Championship, which starts today:
- What school has thrice supplied the second-place finisher – but never the champion? (Hint: it’s the same school that’s had 13 participants, three more than any other.)
- What eight schools are one-for-one on producing a College Champion? (My alma mater fit this category until the last tournament.)
- Stanford is the only school to win twice – and it could win a third crown this year. What’s the only other school that could claim its second title come next Friday? (It’s also one of the answers to the previous question.)
All of that and more in a handy table that lays out (almost) all of the stats for schools that have competed in the College Championship.
But first, let’s have a look at who’s playing this year:
I want one of those cards. (from the Jeopardy! minisite)
One of these 15 players will win a pretty sweet trophy, at least $100,000, and a berth in the next Tournament of Champions:
| Name | School | Yr | Hometown |
| Ziad Ali | North Carolina State University | Fr | Oak Ridge, NC |
| Adam Antoszewski | University of Virgina | Jr | Baltimore, MD |
| Emily Bingham | Wright State University | Sr | Dayton, OH |
| Kevin Brown | Louisiana State University | Sr | Boise, ID |
| Noah Cowan | Brown University | Fr | Bethesda, MD |
| Sam Deutsch | University of Southern California | Jr | Bethesda, MD |
| Sarah Dubnik | University of Pittsburgh | Sr | Jamison, PA |
| Kate Laubscher | Northeastern University | So | Woodside, CA |
| Hannah Norem | Augustana University | So | Houston, TX |
| Carissa Pekny | United States Military Academy at West Point | Sr | West Lafayette, IN |
| Niki Peters | University of California, Berkeley | So | Boise, ID |
| Amanda Rosner | Northwestern University | Fr | Sandy Springs, GA |
| Michael Sieja | Mississippi State University | So | Huntsville, AL |
| Emily Sun | Columbia University | Fr | San Diego, CA |
| Gus Woythaler | Stanford University | Sr | Encino, CA |
It’s nice to see they’re again letting freshmen play in the tournament – and it makes a lot more sense than when I played. When I taped my tournament, I had exactly one month of college experience under my belt; at least the four freshmen here have been on campus for a full semester!
And now, here is the table of schools represented in the College Championship: 179 in all, with maybe a few stragglers once I find the missing 30 slots.
