Where do Super Bowl quarterbacks come from?

[SWC75]

I heard a discussion on the radio about the wisdom of recruiting Ohio State quarterbacks since they tend to flop in the NFL. I decided to chart the starting quarterbacks for the Super Bowls to see what schools had a strong track record of supplying the NFL with championship-level QBS. I’ll associate the Super Bowls with the NFL season for which they decided the championship rather than doing the Roman Numeral thing.

10 - Purdue
8 – Alabama, California, Louisiana Tech
7 - UCLA
6 – Navy, Oklahoma, Tennessee
5 - Miami U.
4 - Brigham Young, U of Miami, Mississippi, Northern Iowa
3 – Georgia, No Carolina St., So Mississippi, Texas Tech, Washington St., Wisconsin
2 - Arizona, Boston College, Delaware, Florida State, Fresno State, Grambling, Louisville,
Maryland, Morehead State
1 –Alcorn State, Auburn, Augustana, Eastern Illinois, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana State, Michigan State, Nebraska, Nevada-Reno, Penn State, Pittsburgh, SW Louisiana, Syracuse, Washington, Youngstown St.
0- Many, including Ohio State.

You got me on that one. I can no longer edit it. The Charger's QB was Stan Humphries from NE Louisiana.
