In doing my various researches into college football history I've occasionally come across a mention of the President of the United States in attendence at a particular game. Usually this is the Army vs Navy game in his role as Commander in Chief but there have been notable exceptions, with the epic 1969 Texas vs Arkansas tilt being the most famous.

What I've never seen is any kind of comprehensive tally of these games. So I am starting this post as an effort to rectify this somewhat. I've jotted down the games I know of and I'd like to build on this if possible. If you know of a POTUS-attended game, please let me know in the comments (and provide a link to the source if you have it) and I'll add it on. A list by school is at the bottom.
