On March 28, 2011, the [[Sporting News]] named Moore as the #1 player in their annual list of the top 25 players in the nation.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2011-03-28/kellen-moore-tops-sporting-news-annual-spring-25|title = Kellen Moore tops Sporting News' annual Spring 25|date = March 28, 2011|access-date = September 7, 2015|website = sportingnews.com|last = Hayes|first = Matt|archive-date = November 4, 2014|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141104072154/http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2011-03-28/kellen-moore-tops-sporting-news-annual-spring-25|url-status = dead}}</ref> He was ranked ahead of [[Stanford Cardinal football|Stanford]] quarterback [[Andrew Luck]] and [[Oregon Ducks football|Oregon]] running back [[LaMichael James]] who both finished ahead of Moore in the 2010 Heisman voting. He only needed 8 wins during the 2011 season to pass [[Colt McCoy]] for most wins by a quarterback in NCAA history. He threw his 100th touchdown pass against Georgia during week one. Following an opening season win against [[2011 Georgia Bulldogs football team|Georgia]] in the [[Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game]], Moore was featured on the cover of ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'', distributed only in the [[Western United States|west]].
With the Broncos defeat of [[2011 Air Force Falcons football team|Air Force]] on October 22, he tied former [[Texas Longhorns football|Texas]] quarterback [[Colt McCoy]] for the career wins record with 45 wins. On November 5, the Broncos defeated [[2011 UNLV Rebels football team|UNLV]] and Moore broke the record to become the FBS leader in career wins for a starting quarterback at 46. A perfect season, however, was spoiled again by a 36–35 loss to TCU.
He was one of three finalists for the Maxwell Award along with Andrew Luck and [[Trent Richardson]] (won by Luck). For the second year in a row, he was named the Touchdown Club of Columbus Quarterback of the Year and it was announced that beginning in 2012 the award will be known as the Kellen Moore Award.
