Jeopardy!: the College Championship by school
This is another aggregation of data compiled by J! Archive, which is now College Championship-complete, in addition to being Tournament of Champions-complete.
Notes
- This page includes the 486 competitors in the 30 College Championships played on the syndicated Jeopardy!, all in the show's traditional tournament format (15 contestants, 10 games), as well as the 2022 National College Championship aired on ABC (36 contestants, 18 games).
- A total of 202 distinct schools have been represented.
- Stanford is the only school with multiple winners (Seasons 18 and 22); it also has the most finalists with four. Harvard, Southern California, Notre Dame, MIT, and Texas A&M have each had three finalists.
- On five occasions, a College Championship featured two players representing the same school — Season 7 (Wayne State); Season 8 (North Carolina); Season 13 (Loyola - New Orleans); Season 15 (Northwestern); Season 17 (Washington).
- Ten College Championships (Seasons 14-15 & 17-24) were staged "on the road" — that is, at a location other than where Jeopardy! usually tapes. Those locations are noted above the results for those specific events.
- The composite table is sortable; clicking/tapping on a column header cell sorts in ascending order, click/tap again for descending order.

^ Stanford's Issac Applebaum had the lowest semifinal score among the four winners in that round; thus he did not advance to the final. He won $35,000, as opposed to the $20,000 pocketed by the losing semifinalists. He was originally scheduled to compete in 2022 Second Chance, but could not due to a conflict; it is not yet known when or how the show will bring him back.
