Which conference has the most NCAA football national championships?

Question

This will settle a debate with a friend of mine that loves the SEC.

Answer 1

the Ivy league congerence, followed by The Big Ten, then; sec, big 12, pac 10, and big east.


this is the most comprehensive list of all past national championships and the voting organizations that hand out awards: http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/ia_football_past_champs.html
this site is a NCAA site, NOT some stupid trickipedia site..

Ohio State doesn't claim all of these awards, most noteworthy of all is the partial national championship given john cooper's 98 team.

anyway, if yous take the time to tally the individual titles and use the current conference alignment, then yous will find that my original answer is correct, and the ivy league won so damn many titles that The Big Ten is a distant second, and the sec is about 6 behind The Big Ten, and then the rest...

Answer 2

Yale with 18, although their last one was in 1927.

1927 - Yale Claimed National Title
Yale won its record 18th national championship. However, 1927 is the last time the Bulldogs were crowned National Champions.
1922 - Princeton Grabbed Title
Ivy League power Princeton claimed its 17th National Championship. However, it was the last title for the New-Jersey based school. Currently, Princeton is second with 17 National Football Championships.

Answer 3

I'd guess the SEC, but I'm not sure about that. I know these teams have all won championships: Alabama-12 Tennessee-I'm not sure, at least 3 I think Florida-2 LSU-3 Ole Miss-3 Georgia-at least 2 I'm not sure about any of the other teams. All of the ones I've listed have won at least 2 championships as well. I'll check and see if I'm right. I checked and this is a hard question to answer. Since most teams have changed conferences before, you run into a lot of problems. Also, college football was a sport only found at elite Northern schools for a number of years, so that limited where the champions could come from. All-time, the Ivy League has won the most, although nearly all of those came before 1900, so it's debatable if those really count, considering the Ivy League isn't 1-A anymore.

Answer 6

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avBDj

It's a vague question. Teams like Penn State weren't in a conference when they won a championship, but are now in the big ten. Do you count that toward the big ten? Same with schools in the big 12. I am pretty sure Texas was SW conference when they won a few.

Answer 7

Looking just at the AP poll, the oldest of the current polls, and counting based on each teams CURRENT conference affiliation the breakdown since 1934 is:

Big 12 - 18
SEC - 13
Big 10 - 12
Big East - 8
Notre Dame - 7
Pac 10 - 5
ACC - 4
Conference USA - 2
Mountain West - 1
WAC - 1

Answer 8

well, I'm pretty sure its not the SEC, it might actually be the Big 12 or the Big Ten....

It's tough to count cuz a few teams have left conferences and joined new ones and then there are independent teams.

Answer 9

big 10 has the most 'recognized titles' but out of 20 titles, 18 came between 1900 and 1960
