Hi folks! Lighting up a debate among friends here, we're trying to figure out which college has clinched the most NCAA football titles. Does anyone have that intel?
Sure, I'd love to help you out with that.
The University of Alabama holds the record for the most NCAA football titles. The Crimson Tide have been claimed National Champions 18 times, with their most recent victory coming in 2020. However, the claim to this record can be a bit controversial as the system for determining the National Champion has changed over time, including coaches’ votes, various mathematical systems, and now the College Football Playoff system. Because of this, different teams have different counts for their total number of National Championships, depending on which ones they recognize. But as it stands, Alabama is typically recognized for having the most.
Remember, though, part of the fun of college football is the ongoing debates among fans, so your friends may have their own perspectives.
