Quiz: How well do you know 2005?


	Charlie Weis won a Super Bowl and nearly beat USC ... but that's not on the exam.

It's time to take your final exam.

Eyes forward, no talking, no bathroom breaks and absolutely no scientific calculators.

You've had 12 months to study the material, and now it's time to see what information you've retained from the sporting year that was 2005. From championships to phenoms to scandals, the SportsNation Year in Review Exam covers every facet of the athletes and games we watch.

So before you ring in 2006, take a few minutes to reflect on the year that was.

And just like exams in school, you likely will never need any of this information again.
