I feel like he qualifies. He won the Maxwell Award in 2013, finished runner-up in Heisman Trophy voting that same year, while also leading his team to national championships in 2011 and 2012. In the latter year he led the country in passing efficiency, completing over 66% of his passes and throwing 30 touchdown passes to just 3 interceptions.

Definitely Burreaux.
Cam Newton second.

Burrow beat the defending champs by throwing for 463 yards and 5 TDs (no picks) along with 58 rushing yards and a TD. In the regular season, he beat Bama and Texas in their own stadiums, won every award a QB can win, and put up numbers that would look more at home on a video game.
Records he set or tied:
SEC and LSU single season passing touchdowns (55)
SEC and LSU single season passing yards (5,208)
LSU single season total yards (5,519)
LSU career total touchdowns (82)
LSU single season total touchdowns (59)
First SEC quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in the same season
Tied SEC single game passing touchdown (7)
LSU career passing touchdowns (71)
LSU consecutive 20+ completion games (17)
LSU single game total touchdowns (Peach Bowl, 8)
First FBS player to score eight total touchdowns in a bowl game

Cam Newton. He carried an otherwise probably 6-6 team to an undefeated season. No other player has willed his team to a natty like that.

AJ was a fine college QB, and he proved himself several times on the biggest stages. However, he doesn’t compare to the elite QBs of the last 35 years.

He had 60 passing TDs

No Josh Heupel?
Posted on 8/3/24 at 6:43 pm to RollTide1987
Cam Newton

Make it stop gif. Might as well put the guy from GA Tech, since they technically shared a title

We're talking about national championship-winning QBs. And I'm sure he pales in comparison to the likes of Shawn Jones, Gino Torretta, Jay Barker, Scott Frost, Brian Griese, Tee Martin, Craig Krenzel, Matt Mauk, Matt Flynn, and Greg McElroy.

Burrow....
Young
Newton/Winston had similar stats in their National Championship games but Newton played worse against Oregon than Winston against Auburn.
Nod goes to Winston who also beat a better team by the same margin of victory.

Are you talking about the actual NC game, the NC season on their entire college career? I would probably have a different answer for all 3.

Matt Leinart and Danny Wuerffel jump out to me outside of Burrow.

Did any other QBs win the MVP of three national title games?
Posted on 8/3/24 at 7:51 pm to Cfrobel
There was this one QB who was MVP in back to back national title games, Stetson Bennet IV
