who has the most college football championships?

Answer 1

the simple answer: none the ncaa does not give national titles in football

This is a source of much debate. Before 1901 the national title was dominated by teams that are now members of the Ivy League. Yale and Princeton each claim as many as 24 national championships. However, Yale's last title was in 1927 and Princeton's was in 1935 (according to Dunkel, not reflected above). The University of Michigan won the first non-Ivy League national championship in 1901 (game played in January, 1902).

In an attempt to settle countless arguments, in 1970 Sports Illustrated made an in-depth study into college football's mythical national champions. Every recognized authority that ever presumed to name a No. 1 was included: Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, United Press International and many other authorities. At that time they claimed Notre Dame had the most national championships with 17, Alabama with 13, Yale 13, Princeton 12, and USC 10.

Using only the sources from the National Championship Foundation or the "consensus" champion, the following teams have won the most championships since 1901:

Answer 6

So many things could happen to make any prediction look silly. I'm thinking ND vs West Virginia. USC, Ohio State and Texas all look like formidable contenders as well. One of the SEC teams will probably be in the mix as well, Florida or Auburn.
