Columbiafan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Usually the fun part is taking an initial guess and see if you can get some of them and then use those as clues as well as clues from other guesses to figure it out but I didn't state specifically that you couldn't look it up so you can if you like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically while the time period was through 2005 I never said the last year of the postseason losses was in 05 I just used that timetable because that's the primary source I used when making the post lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'm utterly clueless without online research. 2/5 of those teams were nationally ranked during the stretch I listed however only one actually faced the team who is the answer to the question at the top Remember though, the first question (not the bonus ones) is based on a team who lost to 5 of the teams ranked nationally but I never said they themselves were nationally ranked in those games but good initial guess so I'll actually add the team bolded above who was one of the 5 nationally ranked teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Miami Carol City was nationally ranked multiple times during that stretch and in one of those seasons faced and defeated the team who is the answer to the top question Some of the others may get tricky though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 The other team in that list who was nationally ranked in that stretch was Miami Northwestern However the team in question has never faced Miami Northwestern in their program history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully one is right. a bit high Pine Forest is correct for one of the first ones and they were also the highest ranked team to beat Columbia in the playoffs in 1988 as they finished number 1 nationally third one is same as before with it answering a different question, interestingly enough Columbia lost to a nationally ranked Woodham team, twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 one team remaining for the first one, it is also a team who knocked off St Thomas Aquinas in the same season as Columbia faced this last team twice since they were a district opponent that year and this team beat STA in the state finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
