Best Answer

In 1869, Rutgers and Princeton played a college soccer game on November 6. The game used a modification of the London Football Association rules. Over the next seven years, modern football began to develop from Rugby as the sport gained popularity with major eastern schools which today, we call the "Ivy League" institutions. Three years later, Walter Camp, known as the "Father of American Football" drafted the first official rules of American football.

If you have two football teams in front of two football teams and two football teams behind two football teams and two football teams beside two football teams How many players do you have?

44 players. There would be 4 teams, with 11 players each. Team 1 and 2 would be in front of team 3 and 4 and so would be the two teams in front of two teams, and teams 3 and 4 would be behind teams 1 and 2 and so would be the two teams behind two teams.

What was the name of the first college football team?

The name of the first team would be up for debate since there had to be two teams to actually play football. Rutgers and Princeton played the first game in 1869. I am not aware that one claims to have organized before the other. When the games were first being played, Rutgers teams were the "Queensmen". I am not aware of Princeton's team name. There must be two teams so that begs the question, which of the two teams involved in the first "football" game organized first? The game, in 1869 was between Princeton University and the Rutgers University Queensmen. I am unaware of Princeton calling their teams by any formal name at the time. Whether that was considered "college football" is up to interpretation since it was more akin to rugby.
