NEW YORK, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2009 college football season is up and running, and kgb is having a ball answering all your campus gridiron questions. From SEC and Big 12 country to the Pac 10, Big 10 and Big East and everywhere in between, college football fans have been rushing to ask questions of kgb. In fact, the Florida Gators, who are ranked No. 1 in the AP poll, are also tops when it comes to college football questions being asked of kgb, followed by Texas, USC, Notre Dame and Alabama. Below are some actual college football questions received by kgb.

How many touchdown passes did Florida QB Tim Tebow throw last year? What is the seating capacity of Notre Dame Stadium? Where did Emmit Smith play his college football? Who has the most national championships in college football? How much does a college football referee earn per game?

Here's the play: if you have a college football question (or any questions for that matter), send it via text message to 542542 (kgbkgb), the number for the kgb's text answer service, where a specially-trained kgb Special Agent is waiting to provide a quick, accurate answer.
