What college has won the most national championships in football?

** It should be noted that the NCAA does not recognize a National Championship in football as there is no tournament format to declare a true national champion in a fair unbiased way.** It should also be noted that the list below are "Division-1" and before there were multiple divisionsRecognized National Championships1.Ivy League-69 (Princeton 28, Yale 26, Harvard 7, Penn 7, Dartmouth 1) 2-BIG10- 40 (Michigan-11, Minnesota-6, Ohio State-7, Illinois-4 ,Michigan State-4, Penn State-4, Iowa-13 - SEC-30 (Alabama-12, Tennessee-4, LSU-4, Florida-3, Ga- 2, Arkansas-1, Auburn-2, Ole Miss-2 )4- BIG12- 19 (Oklahoma-7, Nebraska-5, Texas-4, Texas A&M-2, Colorado-1)5- PAC10- 15 (Southern Cal-8, Cal-4, Stanford-1, Washington-1, UCLA-1)6- ACC- 14 (Miami-5, Ga.Tech-4, Maryland-1, Fla St.-2, Clemson-1, Boston College-1)7- BIG EAST- 10 (Pittsburgh-9, Syracuse-1)Bowl Championship Series SEC (6 - Tennessee, 1998; LSU, 2003, 2007; Florida, 2006, 2008; Alabama 2009) Prior to the 1998 season, the Divsion I-A national championship was awarded, by the AP and various other polling organizations. The only thing any team "won" was a popularity contest. The big bowl games rarely pitted the best teams against each other, and in any event, until the 1970s, were played after the national championship was awarded. It was only with the establishment of the BCS that teams actually had to win the national championship, on the field. Since that time, SEC teams have won 6 national championships. No other conference has won more than 2 (Big 12, and ACC, if you include Miami's national championship in the ACC total, even though they were not part of the ACC at that time). The Big 10 and Pac 10 have one each (Ohio State and USC). The Big East has one, but only if you count Miami's national championship, since Miami was in the Big East at the time they won it. So:If you go with conference affiliation at the time of the championship:SEC (6)Big 12 (2)ACC (1)Big 10 (1)Big East (1)Pac 10 (1)All other Division I-A Conferences (0)If you go with current conference affiliation:SEC (6)ACC (2)Big 12 (2)Big 10 (1)Pac 10 (1)Big East (0)All other Division I-A Conferences (0)Important note -- (as supervisor I do not want to delete the above because it is a common misinformed opinion) It is important that you don't believe it all as truth. The BCS is nothing more then the way the AP and the Coaches Poll determined the National Championship before 1998. The BCS is just a more complex system of calculating with computers and personal opinion how teams rank. The BCS actually takes into consideration the Harris Poll, Coaches Poll, and 4 computer rankings. There is nothing "played out on the field" about it. Proof needs to go no further then:Boise State Broncos:9-1 in Bowl Games since 19992006 - 13-0 (win over Oklahoma in 2007 Fiesta Bowl)2007 - 10-3 (every loss was to top 25 team)2008 - 12-1 (loss Poinsettia Bowl to #11 TCU)2009 - 14-0 (won over TCU in 2010 Fiesta Bowl*** yet no appearances in the BCS National Championship simply due to the fact they do not play in a "BCS conference"--- no team outside the top 15 preseason poll to start the season has ever competed in the BCS National Championship. All the BCS does is now rather then having 2 possibly controversial Champions (Coaches Poll and AP poll champions), college football has now 1 "controversial" championAs a contributor, I won't delete the above because 1) I believe in free speech, even when it's ridiculous; and 2) I enjoying allowing those who disagree with me to make fools of themselves.I admit that the BCS system is not perfect. In fact, nothing short of an 8-team (preferably 16-team) playoff will ever crown a "true" national champion. But the BCS is, nevertheless, a far cry better than the previous system. It is better because, The national championship is WON. On the field. In a game. Between two teams that SOMEONE thinks are the best two teams in the country. Yes, quite often, that someone is WRONG about those two teams being the best. But there's still a game between someone's idea of the best two teams in the country. That rarely happened prior to the BCS.As for Boise State, that is truly laughable.Let me break down those bowl victories for you:2006 - 13-0 (win over Oklahoma in 2007 Fiesta Bowl)And Oklahoma is what? 0-6 in BCS bowl games? Look, Oklahoma, at its best, is the second or third best team in a conference that is a DISTANT second best. But, on top of that, Oklahoma, of late, can't seem to find a reason to get up for a big bowl game. Based on their performance in recent history, I suspect St. Mary's School for the Blind could beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. For the record, though no one has been bad enough to lose to Oklahoma in a BCS game in the past ten years or so, Boise State came closer to losing than any of Oklahoma's other BCS opponents, winning by 1 point on a trick play in overtime.2007 - 10-3 (every loss was to top 25 team)Exactly. They lost to three top-25 teams. This proves they can't hang with top-25 teams. They don't need to be humiliated by Florida in a national championship game to prove this - it has already been proven.2008 - 12-1 (loss Poinsettia Bowl to #11 TCU)Again, Boise State can't beat a top-ranked team (though in this case, TCU was way overranked, due to an artificially-inflated win total against pathetic teams. Kinda like Boise State.)2009 - 14-0 (won over TCU in 2010 Fiesta Bowl)Doesn't mention either team's rank, but I think they were both top ten, or close. It doesn't matter though, because both teams were way overranked (again due to artificially-inflated win totals against pathetic teams). Neither of them could have beaten any other BCS bowl team. The BCS folks put these two teams together so ONE of them could say they had won a BCS bowl game.I sincerely hope we get a playoff one day soon just so we can put to rest this ridiculous notion that Boise State can play with the big boys. Barring that, I have a question for you. If your Boise State Broncos go 13-0 next year, and the BCS finally lets them into the BCS national championship game, and they get their butts whipped 63-7 by the winner of the REAL national championship game (played in Atlanta in Early December), will you guys finally give up the notion that you can play with the big boys?Additionally, I believe that the Boise State Record in BCS bowls since 1999 is 6-4Losses:2004 Autozone Liberty Bowl: Lost to Luisville 44 to 402005 MPC Computers Bowl: Loss to Boston College 27 to 212007 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl: Loss to East Carolina 41 to 382008 San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl: Loss to TCU 17 to 1611/30/2010: After reading what both the contributor and the supervisor wrote. Just to help out the Boise State Fan's Case: NEVADA...oh wait, I guess that didn't help. This probably doesn't either. Auburn #1, Arkansas #7, LSU #10. Please, give it a rest.

What teams have aoutomatic bids to the BCS?

If a team is in the ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12, or SEC and they win their conference championship game they will earn that conferences automatic BCS bowl bid


What are non-BCS teams?

There are six conferences (ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big 10, PAC 10, and SEC) and one independent school (Notre Dame) that have automaticly qualifying status for a BCS game. Teams in these conferences would be your BCS teams. The other five conferences (MWC, C-USA, WAC, MAC, and SBC) and two independents (Army and Navy) are not automatic qualifiers and can only make it to a BCS bowl game through an "at-large" bid. These would be your non-BCS teams. Although the BCS considers ALL teams to be "BCS teams" with the division being between automatic and non-automatic qualifiers.


Why is TCU playing in the Rose Bowl?

For the 2010 season, if either the Big 10 champion or PAC 10 champion is playing in the BCS National Championship Game and a non-BCS team qualifies for a BCS bowl, that team will play in the Rose Bowl. The University of Oregon won the PAC 10 and would normally play in the Rose Bowl. But since they are playing in the National Championship Game, obviously, they can't play in the Rose Bowl. So TCU, a non-BCS team that qualified for a BCS bowl, was slotted to play in the Rose Bowl.


Who invented the BCS format?

The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) format was developed in 1998 by the commissioners of the six major college football conferences (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10, and SEC) along with Notre Dame's athletic director. The goal was to create a system that would match the top two teams in a national championship game.


How many teams are eligible for the BCS?

Ten teams get to play in the BCS each year. Two play for the National Championship, while the other eight will play in the Sugar, Orange, Fiesta and Rose Bowls. Any of the 120 FBS teams are "eligible," but only the winners of the six BCS conferences get an automatic berth. (These are the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East and the Pac-10.) Only one team from a non-BCS conference can get an automatic berth, and they must be ranked in the top-12, or in the top-16 if they are higher than another BCS conference champion. The only exception is Notre Dame, who gets an automatic berth as long as they are ranked in the top-8.


Can three teams from the same conference go to any BCS bowls in the same year for example Georgia to the Sugar Bowl and LSU and Alabama to the National Championship Game?

Yes.1. The top two teams in the final BCS Standings shall play in the National Championship Game.2. The champions of the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and Southeastern conferences will have automatic berths in one of the participating bowls"No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings."

What is a BCS?

BCS stands for Bowl Championship Series. The BCS is the system that selects the Division 1-A College Football teams to play in the BCS bowl games at the conclusion of each football season. There are 5 BCS Bowl Games:1. Rose Bowl: Pac 10 champ vs. Big Ten champ2. Sugar Bowl: SEC champ vs. BCS selection3. Fiesta Bowl: Big 12 champ vs. BCS selection4. Orange Bowl: ACC champ vs. BCS selection5. BCS National Championship Game: BCS #1 vs. BCS #2 If the champion of one of the 5 major conferences with BCS ties (bold above) is ranked #1 or #2 in the BCS and goes to the BCS NC game, then the bowl that has the tie to that conference may select another team, based on BCS ranking. For example, if USC wins the Pac 10 and is ranked #1 at the end of the regular season, then the Rose Bowl can select another team to play against the Big Ten champion. Otherwise, the specific Bowl must take the champion of the respective conference. In addition, Notre Dame gets an automatic berth if it finishes in the top 8 in the BCS ranking; the Big East champion gets an automatic berth to one of the games; and a non-BCS-conference team ranked in the top 12 (or in the top 16 and ranked higher than at least one BCS conference champion) gets an automatic berth, but only one non-BCS conference team can get a berth each year.
