With big names like Tua Tagovailoa, Trevor Lawrence, Dwayne Haskins, and Kyler Murray lighting up scoreboards across the country, this year's college football season was all about quarterbacks.

But success at the collegiate level doesn't always translate to the NFL, so INSIDER set out to determine which colleges produce quarterbacks who find success on the NFL's biggest stage: the Super Bowl.

The California Golden Bears lead the pack with a whopping five quarterbacks making appearances in Super Bowl games after their time in Berkeley came to a close, but the Alabama Crimson Tide and Purdue Boilermakers have the most Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks with three winners apiece.

This year's Super Bowl quarterbacks both enjoyed successful college football careers.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff will be the fifth quarterback from Cal to start in a Super Bowl. He made program history in 2013 as the first true freshman quarterback to start a season opener and went on to accrue 12,200 passing yards and 977 completions in his three years under center.

Tom Brady is the only Super Bowl quarterback to play for the Michigan Wolverines. Brady was famously a backup in his first two years in Ann Arbor before securing the starting job against fellow future NFL quarterback Drew Henson for his junior and senior seasons. In that span, Brady posted a 20-5 record and threw for 4,644 yards.

Shockingly, no quarterback who attended college in the state of Texas has ever started in the Super Bowl.
