Comparison of QBs faced by recent National Champs

Seeing how well some of the young QBs are doing in the NFL prompted some thought. What team had to face the most high-level quarterbacks on the way to a natty, in terms of their future NFL success?
Auburn '10 - incredibly weak opponent QBs. McElroy is tops, lol.
LSU '19 - Tua, Hurts, Lawrence (8-1 as starters), Love/Trask/Ehlinger/Mond/Corral all drafted and on rosters. Fromm drafted. Still in college: Jefferson (young when faced).
Bama '20 - Fields (starter), Trask/Mond/Book/Corral. Still in college: Bennett (young when faced).
It's crazy how much more difficult that '19 schedule was compared to the others. The Auburn schedule was comically bad with QB talent.
NOTE: Too early to analyze Georgia '21 as so many still in college.

No opinions in here rendered, other than the seemingly inarguable lack of success from Auburn's opponent QBs.

Odd response and completely unrelated to the topic. Are you capable of having an intelligent discussion on point?

What in the hell would you know about intelligent conversation? All you know is 2019.

I loved what McElroy did for us (super tough kid, won our first title in 17 years) but he couldn't possibly be the best QB Auburn faced that year could he?
Update: I had forgotten that Oregon lost their starting QB right before the game. Darron Thomas wasn't a bad QB, but not really in the same tier as those others.
Trying to remember who played for who way back in 2010 is rough.

South Carolina - Garcia (Auburn played him twice)
Miss State - Chris Relf (I think?)
UGA - Aaron Murray
Alabama - McElroy
Oregon - Darron Thomas
That’s all I remember off of the top of my head. I think Clemson also had a serviceable QB in 2010 but I can’t remember his name.
ETA: I think Ole Miss had Jeremiah Masoli, the transfer from Oregon.

Why are you so mad. He brought up three separate years

Clemson had Kyle Parker. I wonder what the total number of starts and wins in the NFL has been posted by that murderer's row?
I think Murray was the highest draft pick, in the fifth round!
For comparison, LSU faced 3 first rounders, two 2nd rounders, two 3rd rounders and a 6th.

Do you know which year in the past decade ended with the highest numeral? That's right, 2019. Strange how it just keeps coming out on top of every list!

Aaron Murray and Tyler Wilson were very good college quarterbacks

This analysis is looking at the NFL-level talent and success, no comment made about ability in college.

Not sure what you mean by this. 2020 Bama is one of the teams listed above.

Much rather see Love or Mond on the opposing team than Murray

that's a little silly. Why look at who college players played by looking at their NFL performance?

Just wondering what team had to face the most difficult gauntlet of quarterbacks, seeing what Tua, Hurts and Lawrence are now doing in the NFL.

Any reason you started with 2010? Any reason you then skipped 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2017?
Just curious.

You left out a bunch of stuff. By coincidence I'm sure.
Tua- Maaaaaybe at 60 percent when he played. Was literally hopping on one leg.
Hurts- C'mon now. Everyone and I mean everyone said many times he was not a good QB. Especially in college
Lawrence-I'll give you that one. Fantastic player.
Love-61 percent passer in college. Led utah st to a meh...25-15 record. OK i guess.
Trask-Led Florida to 8-4 record. Solid the one season he started but not off the charts
Ehlinger-Meh, never a big game guy. Check out he Horns records when he was there. Mistake prone like Tua.
Mond- Seriously dude? This guy was serviceable at best.
Corral- Yea, 2019 Corral led the rebs to a 4-8 record with 6 TD passes.
Yea, they might be on rosters but they are not starters and won't be there long. Jake Fromm never was much.
With the exception of Lawrence, they never faced anybody any better than Fields was in 2020. In fact, Lawrences 2019 season was 3665 yds with a QB rating of 166.7. Fields played only 8 games and had 2200 yds and a QBR of 175.6.
As far as Tua, he was nowhere near healthy for that game.
people can deny it all they want.
