Hello, everyone! I'm a high school junior deeply interested in football. As part of my college search, I wanted to know which colleges have the most NCAA football championships. Any guidance is much appreciated!
Sure, happy to help! If we're talking strictly Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), which is the highest level of collegiate football, the University of Alabama leads with the most championships. They've won a whopping 18 national titles, with their most recent one coming in 2020. Other notable schools in this category include Notre Dame and Oklahoma, both with impressive records as well.
However, it's also essential to mention that many other divisions in college football boast some really successful programs. For instance, in Division III, the University of Mount Union in Ohio has won an impressive 13 championships.
Just remember that while a school's reputation for athletics can be a consideration, there are many other factors you should also take into account in your college search—like academic programs, campus culture, location, and financial aid offerings.
