Discussions have ranged from opinion based questions like, “who will win on Sunday and why?” — In my humble opinion, the Seattle Seahawks will win — to trivia like, “what team has won the most Super Bowls?” (Pittsburgh Steelers with 6).

That last question didn’t last very long to answer, but one that did was: “What state has produced the most Super Bowl winning quarterbacks?”

The results were pretty surprising to me.

No one predicted the winning state, and Texas shocked everyone by only producing one quarterback to have won a Super Bowl. So, after doing the research, we put together a heat map to show of the data.

Have a look and see where your state ranks.
