The University of West Virginia has never won an NCAA National Championship in football. They have won or co-won 12 conference championships. They won eight in the Southern Conference (1953-1956, 1958, 1964, 1965, 1967) and 2 in the Big East (1993, 2005). They were also co-champions twice in the Big East (2003, 2004).

West Virginia University made its only appearance in the national championship game in 1959 in Louisville, Kentucky. It lost the game to California (the University of California-Berkeley)

71-70. Despite losing, it was West Virginia's star player, Jerry West, who was awarded Most Outstanding Player honors.

Has West Virginia University ever won a Football National Championship?

No, and they've only played for one once (1989 Fiesta Bowl, a 34-21 loss to Notre Dame.)source: cfbdatawarehouse.comActually Croswenthy is technically wrong. WVU has played for the National Championship twice. Once in 1989 (the Fiesta Bowl) and again in the 1994 Sugar Bowl. The luck of the 1993 squad was just like the 1988 squad in their national title game. The Mountaineers would play the Florida Gators for a share of the national title but lost to Florida 41-7.
