Question
Since the merger in 1970, what are the only three schools to have three quarterbacks selected with top 5 picks. All three schools play in the same conference.
Answer
Washington State (Drew Bledsoe, Jack Thompson and Ryan Leaf)
Oregon (Akili Smith, Joey Harrington, Marcus Mariota)
Stanford (Jim Plunkett, John Elway, Andrew Luck).
These are all schools in the Pac-12 Conference. If we expand this to “Super Bowl era”, including the first three common drafts (1967-1969) then Purdue is also a fit, with Bob Griese, Mike Phillips and Jim Everett.
