Semifinals: Princeton/UCLA/Vandy
February 18

We started with 15 players from all across the nation, playing for glory and a shot at $100,000 in the Jeopardy! College Championship. At the end of this week, one player will reign over them all with the cash, the title, and the seat at the next Tournament of Champions. But no more second chances for the final nine. It's win or go home.

What challenges await the brightest collegians in the country? How will they rise to meet them? The answers to these questions could be worth $100,000 for the winner, $50,000 for the first runner-up, and $25,000 for the second runner-up. Semifinalists are guaranteed $10,000. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moves in the standings.

Who will join Tucker Pope in the finals on Thursday? Let's find out... now.

Daily Double: $800 Other Lone Star Flags. Ben is continuing his domination of the game with $4400 to Eric's $1800. Terry has yet to make her mark. Ben bets $1200 on this: Mauritania's green flag has one of these under its single star. "What is a crescent?" Right for $5600!

Video Daily Double #1: $1200 Inside Art. Eric has a tie with Terry for $3600, $4000 behind Ben. Eric goes with $2000 on this from Sarah: "A closer look at Emanuel Leutz's 'Washington Crossing the Delaware' reveals jagged chunky ice, the type found in this European river it was based on, and not in the Delaware." "What is the Thames?" No, it was the Rhine, leaving him with $1600.

Daily Double #2: $800 Country Math. Ben has the lead with $16,800, $5200 over Terry. He wagers $3000 on this: stripes on the US flag minus colors on the French flag. "What is 10?" Right for $19,800!
