That is a subject of some controversy. Depending on when you start counting, and what standard you use, Yale, Alabama, and Notre Dame can all make a case for the most championships.

Do southern states have more division 1A football championships?

Listed below and to the right is the order of conferences with the number of college football national championships in parentheses.* Big 12 - (16)* SEC -- (15)* Big Ten -- (13)* ACC -- (9)* Pac-10 -- (4)* Big East -- (3)But, here's some caveats:The above list only includes college football championships from 1936 to present. Importantly, it only includes one champion each year (official NCAA selector). As you know, college football does not have a playoff system as most other college sports do. So, traditionally, champions were crowned by various coaches and sports writers polls. More often then not, various polls named more than one team as the champion.For the purposes of this page, our list of football national championships by conference only counted the College Football National Champion as named by the Associated Press (AP) (1936 - 1997); and from 1998 on - the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Champ.So, for instance, the list above only includes 6 Alabama football national championships. Of course, as discussed at Best All-Time NCAA College Football Program, depending on which polls you count, Alabama could be credited with up to 12 college football national championships.One more caveat -- we included National Championships won by schools that are now part of a particular conference. So it based on current affiliation, not historical affiliation. This favors the Big Ten because we are counting (for them) 2 NC's by Penn State ('82 & '86) that of course Penn State won before they joined the Big Ten.For more comprehensive information check out this pdf: College Football National Champions (prepared by Tex Noel of 1st-N-Goal). It has a listing of every college football team that ever won a National Championship from 1936 on -- and includes official selectors as well as total selectors -- and much, much more.And, Tex created more statistical info about NCAA College Football National Championship teams since 1992, organized by conference at National Champsionship Teams By Conference.You can read more of Tex' stats at SEC Football Statistics and even contact him via a form on that page.So, picking the Best or Top All-Time NCAA College Football Championship Conference is really more of an art than a science. It is quite subjective. See SEC vs Big Ten Debate for more about the subjectivity of this debate.Also, the list above shows the Big 12 with most all-time football championships. This is largely due to the great teams Oklahoma and Nebraska had over the years. Of course, most of those championships came before the Big 12 was even formed. Nebraska and Oklahoma were both in the Big 8 Conference. The Big 12 has only been in existence for 12 years.The Southeastern (SEC), by contrast, began in 1932, so each of its 14 championships was earned by a team that was in the SEC at the time, and still is.Also, if you look at more recent college football history - the SEC leads the pack. Since 1990, the SEC has more NCAA football championships than any other conference with six.Since the BCS system began in 1998, the SEC leads with 4 BCS Championships. And, they've won it each of the past 2 years and 3 of the past 5 years. You can read more about most of those games at Biggest All-Time SEC Football Victory.The ACC and Big 12 both have 2 BCS Championships. The Pac-10 and Big Ten both have 1.OK, all of those caveats add up to one thing:THE SEC IS REALLY THE TOP ALL-TIME NCAA COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONFERENCE.

Does the team with the most overall divisional wins in there division win the division even if they have less total wins than another team in there division?

In the national football league, the team with the most wins overall wins In major league baseball, the team with the most wins overall wins In the national basketball association, the top three teams from each division get the top 3 seeds, then the following best records get into the playoffs in order of wins. In college football, the team with the most DIVISIONAL technically wins, although they play the team in their division with the second most divisional wins in a "championship game". Although it should be stated that they are call conferences i.e. Pac 10 Conference, Big 10 Conference

Which teams are in the pacific 10 national basketball league?

The Pacific-12 Conference (Pac-12) is a collegiate athletic conference that operates in the Western United States. It participates in the NCAA's Division I; its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS; formerly Division I-A), the higher of two levels of NCAA Division I football competition. The conference's 12 members, which are primarily flagship research universities in their respective regions, well-regarded academically, and with relatively large student enrollment, compete in 22 NCAA sports. It was created after the disbanding of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), whose principal members founded the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) in 1959, and went by the names Big Five, Big Six, Pacific-8, Pacific-10, and became the Pacific-12 in 2011. Nicknamed the "Conference of Champions," the Pac-12 has won more NCAA National Team Championships than any other conference in history; the three schools with the most NCAA team championships belong to the Pac-12 (UCLA, Stanford, and USC, in that order). With Arizona State's softball title in 2011, the conference won its 400th NCAA Championship. The current commissioner of the conference is Larry Scott who replaced Thomas C. Hansen, who retired in July 2009 after 26 years in that position. Prior to joining the Pac-10, Scott was Chairman and CEO of the Women's Tennis Association.


Which college football coach has won the most BCS National Championships?

Fielding H. Yost and Bear Bryant have 6 National Championships each:Fielding H. Yost: 6 National Championships with Michigan: 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923.Bear Bryant: 6 National Championships at Alabama: 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979.All of Yost's national championships were before the AP era. And they were all awarded retroactively, by voters that never actually saw any of the games in those years. In order to get to 6, you have to count every minor poll that has ever existed. Most people have never even heard of the organizations that awarded Michigan those national championships. The organizations who (retroactively) awarded national championships to Michigan and Yost in those years were: the Billingsley Report, the Houlgate System, the National Championship Foundation, the Helms Athletic Foundation, and Parke H. DavisAlso, if you're going to count every time any organization awarded a national championship, Bryant has more than 6.1950 (he coached Kentucky that year) Only the Sagarin system chose Kentucky, and it was retroactive.1961 (14 polls, including the AP and UPI, the two most respected of that time)1964 (4 polls, including AP and UPI)1965 (4, including AP and FWAA)1966 (2, Sagarin and Berrryman1973 (2, including UPI)1975 (Matthews Grid Ratings)1977 (just the CFRA, and retroactive)1978 (7, including AP, NWAA, and NFF)1979 (17, all of the polls that were active at that time except the CFRA)That's a total of ten (10) national championships for the Bear, if you count every poll, system, or computer, including the retroactive ones. To get to 6, you have to limit Bryant's championships to only those awarded by major polls (AP, UPI). But if you do that, Yost has none.The first author *is* correct The "Helms Athletic Foundations" retroactive poll results are officially recognized by the N.C.A.A. for the years 1883-1935 as are the Dickerson System from 1924 to 1940. And while an excellent argument can be made that Bryant's 1950 Kentucky team *should* have been crowned as "National Champions", the rule of that time was that the final polling was taken before bowl games which while ethically incorrect, it was the rule at the time. And we all know that even with the addition of the AP poll in 1936, several of the "official" polls have given the Championship to the wrong team.
