A team from the University of Minnesota continues to reign supreme on the national stage.

No, it's not an athlete team, but an academic one.

The U of M's college bowl team has once again won the National Championship. The team of five defeated the University of Southern California to win the national title for the third time in four years.

College Bowl is a question and answer game of general knowledge that covers topics from athletes to entertainment to pop culture. The winning team is not only intelligent, but they're also quick.

The five team members are lead by senior Andrew Bockover from Rapid City, S.D. Bockover is joined by Edina junior Meredith Johnson, freshman Andrew Hart from Chanhassen, freshman Robert Carson from Chaska and graduate student Ezra Lyon from Illinois.

Lyon was named to the tournament's All-Star team.
