In a meaningless exercise, let's go back and check each President's best Super Bowl.
BARACK OBAMA: Steelers-Cardinals. Sure that's the only one during his administration, but what a heck of a game to have!
GEORGE W. BUSH: Giants-Patriots. There were some good ones during his administration, but the epic game between New York and New England takes the top spot. Seeing the 18-0 Pats go down in flames just got to me.
BILL CLINTON: Rams-Titans. This may be the best Super Bowl of all-time and it was the last of the Clinton era. Good thing, since blowouts were the name of the game.
GEORGE H.W. BUSH: Giants-Bills. Bush only presided over four Super Bowls, but two of them were great (the other was 49ers-Bengals).
RONALD REAGAN: 49ers-Bengals. The Gipper's administration saw a lot of Super Bowl blowouts (just like his blowout of Walter Mondale in 1984). The best game was the one that started the Niners' dynasty.
JIMMY CARTER: Steelers-Cowboys. The 35-31 game. It's the only time a team scored at least 30 points and lost a Super Bowl.
GERALD FORD: Steelers-Cowboys. The 21-17 game. Not much to chose from, but it beats the heck out of Pittsburgh's 16-6 win over Minnesota.
RICHARD NIXON: Dolphins-Redskins. There really wasn't a good Super Bowl during Nixon's reign (the thrilling ending to the Colts-Cowboys game doesn't dismiss the Blunder Bowl stigma). At least Miami hit the 17-0 record.
LYNDON JOHNSON: Jets-Colts. LBJ only got to see the first three Super Bowls, but No. 3 was one of the biggest upsets in football history.
