The bonus question came from C in DC, who was watching the game and reported the question out to ADR and me. Even ADR was stumped and that's saying something.
  1. The United States Naval Academy (Jimmy Carter and Roger Staubach)
  2. University of Michigan (Jerry Ford and Tom Brady)
  3. Stanford (Herbert Hoover and John Elway)
and the one you would never get:
4. Miami University of Ohio (Benjamin Harrison and Ben Roethlisberger)
