	Here is the breakdown of where Super Bowl winning QBs came from in terms of conference affiliation under the current setup:
</p>

<p>
	Big Ten:   10 Super Bowl wins  (Brady, Brees, Dawson, Griese, Wilson)
</p>

<p>
	Big 12:  1 Super Bowl win:  (Hostetler...Wva.)
</p>

<p>
	SEC:  9 Super Bowl wins:  (Starr, Namath, Stabler, P. Manning, E. Manning)
</p>

<p>
	Pac 12:  10 Super Bowl wins:  (Elway, Plunkett, Rypien, Aikman, Rodgers, Foles)
</p>

<p>
	ACC:  2 Super Bowl wins:   Unitas, Brad Johnson  (though....Wilson also spent a couple of years at NC St.)
</p>

<p>
	Notre Dame and BYU:  7 wins  (Montana, Theisman, Young, McMahon)
</p>

<p>
	FCS/Mid major FBS/lower level:   13:  Staubach, Bradshaw, Simms, Williams,  Favre, Warner, Dilfer,  Ben R.  Flacco
</p>

<p>
	(Another reason to avoid Big 12 QBs?..though Aikman did spend a couple of years at Oklahoma)

			No Big 12 QB has ever won a playoff game. This Hostetler dude didn't play in the Big 12.

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>So...the history of it is:</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>The old Southwest Conference existed from 1914 to 1996.</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222">For most of its history, the core members of the conference were Texas-based schools plus one in Arkansas,<span> </span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_University" style="color:#0b0080" title="Rice University" rel="external nofollow">Rice University</a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222">,<span> </span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Methodist_University" style="color:#0b0080" title="Southern Methodist University" rel="external nofollow">Southern Methodist University</a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222">,<span> </span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_A%26M_University" style="color:#0b0080" title="Texas A&amp;M University" rel="external nofollow">Texas A&amp;M University</a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222">,</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Christian_University" style="color:#0b0080" title="Texas Christian University" rel="external nofollow">Texas Christian University</a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222">, the<span> </span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Arkansas" style="color:#0b0080" title="University of Arkansas" rel="external nofollow">University of Arkansas</a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222">, and the<span> </span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Texas" style="color:#0b0080" title="University of Texas" rel="external nofollow">University of Texas</a><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#222222">.

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>Also...the Big 8 Conf. existed from 1907 to 1996. </strong></span>

</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>Then they merged into the Big 12.</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>So...I guess the period of time for the Big 12 starts in 1996.</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>And you say that NO QB from any of the Big 12 schools has even won a single playoff game since the inception of that conference?  </strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>I find that highly surprising....but I did some checking and I think it is true.</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>Andy Dalton is 0-4 in postseason...the likes of Vince Young and RGIII were 0-1.   </strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>So...yes...it seems that is right....and it is amazing.</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>(closest guy to be considered a Big 12 QB to win a postseason game may be Kordell Stewart.   But he graduated in 1995...one year before the formation of the Big 12...which at the time included Colorado.  He did win a playoff game for the Squibs)</strong></span>

	So what does all of this tell you with a sample size of 51 or 52? NOTE: Montana, Bradshaw, Staubach and others tend to skew the numbers a bit.
</p>

<p>
	1. Go with the P5 conferences natutally, 10 B1G/PAC, 9 SEC and then the lower 13 and 7 ND/BYU.
</p>

<p>
	2. The Gip has too much free time on his hands, oh yeah I can see it when he totally retires. <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f606.png?v=2bfc1e47258" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--laughing" title=":laughing:" alt="😆" /></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/770047</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/770047</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[mjp28]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 Feb 2018 15:42:21 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Super Bowl Winning QBs by Conference on Tue, 06 Feb 2018 10:00:00 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>
