School: UT-Chattanooga Mocs
Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee
Conference: Southern Conference
Undergrad Enrollment: 11,429
2013-14 record: (18-15, 12-4 Southern)

Who’d win in a mascot fight?:Well their mascot is a train driving mocking bird, so man, I don’t know. I think Bucky could take the bird one-on-one, but if you throw a train into the mix, the line gets thrown off.
One interesting major: Earth, Atmosphere, and Geological Resources
One fact to help you win your local trivia night: Until 1996, the team’s nickname was the Moccasin. It’s mascot ranged from a water moccasin to a shoe.
Prediction: Wisconsin wins, but not in the blow-out fashion you would expect early in the year. Chattanooga is predicted to finish second in the Southern Conference this year behind Wofford. The Badgers win this one by double digits, but the bench doesn’t get used.
