BF is Jealous

So I had to do a project for a psych class and it involved getting 2 guys and 2 girls to participate in a study. So my BF asked about it and I told him which guys I asked. My BF and I go to different colleges. And was super ridiculous about it he got super jealous and was like why haven't I heard about these guys before (he's met both of them) and he was like oh you definitely want to get with them (I don't) it's just so ridiculous I don't deserve that for doing a project for a class!!
