Nice write-up there.

And a plug for this web site as well!

Am I correct that he thinks five + six =7?

This is a loaded question. If you count Miami (OH) as playing in Oxford, then we can link them with Ole Miss. He also has to be counting cities that have multiple teams. That would get us Houston/Rice and USC/UCLA.

Read the coments- not sure I agree with his reasoning and he admits he phrased it wrong.

He is talking about the city, Miami is in Oxford, OH. However, the mailing address for Ole Miss is actually University, MS.

Yeah, we're obviously reading way too much into his silly little question because we're all CFB dorks. If we want to get that picky, I believe there are a few Universities that have mailing addresses along the lines of University Park. Penn State does I think, and one of the Texas schools at least.

If it's not limited to D1A football, which the inclusion of WKU seems to indicate, then:

University of Buffalo -- Amherst, NY
Amherst U. -- Amherst, MA

WKU is D1A now, though, right?
