maybe Jim Plunkett with the Raiders and not sure if Stanford won a championship when Plunkett was there?

Joe Montana became Notre Dame's starting QB mid-way through the 1977 season and led them to a National Championship. He also won a few Super Bowls along the way.

Ken Stabler led Alabama to the NCAA championship in 1965 and started for Oakland when they won over Minnesota in Super Bowl XI.

Troy Aikman was part of the Oklahoma team that won the 1985 NCAA title but spent most of the season out from a broken leg.

Did he transfer? I thought he played for UCLA?

Although drafted by the New York Mets, Aikman chose to pursue football and attended the University of Oklahoma. He broke his leg in his debut against the University of Miami, then headed by his future coach, Jimmy Johnson. With Aikman on the sidelines, Sooners head coach Barry Switzer went back to the wishbone offense, and the college team went on to win the 1985 NCAA title. Mack Brown was the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma during Aikman's tenure there.
Having won with the wishbone, and as Aikman was primarily a passing quarterback, Switzer oversaw Aikman's transfer to UCLA, a program under Terry Donahue that was more conducive to Aikman's game. He had to redshirt one year due to college transfer rules but went on to lead the Bruins to a 20-4 record over two seasons, and wins in the 1987 Aloha Bowl and the 1989 Cotton Bowl.
