Damn close. If you look at all of our presidents with Ivy League degrees, the only one which came even close to being an above average president was John Adams.

All of the great presidents came from no-name colleges (Ronald Reagan, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe) or didn't even attend college at all (George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland).

Dwight Eisenhower was one of our greats, but he was trashed continually by the left. He went to West Point.

Perhaps this is a Virginia-born bias, but I wouldn’t exactly call the College of William & Mary a non-name college.
