In College Football there are no official national champions at the highest (FBS) level. However, there are "mythical national champions," which are based on consensus opinion. Michigan is the current consensus choice for champion of 1901, but Harvard and Yale also claim that they are national champions for that year.
Harvard was the consensus choice of writers at that time, and if there had been an AP poll in 1901, they probably would have been a unanimous #1. Yale bases their claim on the fact that historian Parke Davis retroactively selected them as champion in 1933. But Harvard was 12-0, Yale was 11-1-1, and Harvard beat Yale 22-0.
Michigan was first crowned the 1901 champion 40 years after the fact by the Helms Foundation. Most people today view Michigan as the champion. Which is like people 100 years from now considering Boise State the 2009 champion rather than Alabama.

Who has won 4 college national championships in a row in football?
No college football team in the "modern poll era" (generally recognized to have started with the 1950 college football season) has ever won four consecutive national championships as selected by major polls (AP, Coaches Poll, BCS, etc). Prior to the modern poll era, the last program to be recognized by various methods to have won four national titles in four years is the University of Michigan (1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904). Yale is recognized to have won five straight (1891-1895) and six straight (1879-1884). Princeton also won six straight (1869, 1870, 1872-1875 with no college football season in 1871) and five straight (1877-1881). After the 2013 season, the current BCS National Championship Game will be replaced with the "College Football Playoff," and the champion of that playoff will simply be referred to as "College Football Playoff Champions." However, the Coaches Poll and Associated Press will likely still refer to their respective poll champions as "national champions."
