As I'm sure many of you know, I'm a big college football fan, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Who has the most national championships in college football?
The University of Alabama currently holds the most NCAA football national championships. As of the end of the 2023 season, they have won 18 titles in total. Their wins are spread out over many decades with their first win in 1925 and their most recent one in 2020. However, the method of determining the national champion in college football has varied over time, with different organizations often recognizing different teams as national champions. It can become quite complex so it's worth noting that some universities and fans may debate these numbers. For the most part though, Alabama is commonly accepted as the team with the most championships.
