'Bama "'Bama" plays in Division 1a, which does not crown a champion, because it does not have a format to do so. Even the NCAA Record Book, published annually, calls the team voted #1 at the end of each year a "poll" winner, not an NCAA champion. If you look at the bowls and polls records in the NCAA record book back to 1869 for Division 1a, the more accurate, and totally ridiculous, answer would likely be Princeton or Rutgers. Until the NCAA initiates a playoff format, it is anybodys opinion. And we know what those usually smell most like. To accurately answer the question, only teams from Division 1-aa, Division 2, and Division 3 could be considered.

MaxineThe NCAA has never officially recognized a national champion in Division 1A (now "FBS") College Football, and until the BCS was implemented in 1998, there was never any procedure in place to set up a so-called "national championship game." So the champion is always selected by various organizations and polls who often disagree.
The school with the most championship seasons awarded by ANY selector is Princeton with 26. But all of these were prior to the establishment of the AP poll and the Coaches (UPI/USA Today) poll, which are generally regarded as the two most reliable selectors. Presently, Notre Dame and Alabama are tied, each with eight seasons where they finished ranked #1 in one or both polls.
Among schools that are presently playing D1-FBS football, Alabama claims 13 titles, while Michigan, USC and Notre Dame each claim 11. But each school uses their own subjective criteria in determining whether or not to "claim" a national championship. For example, if Notre Dame used the same criteria as Alabama, they would have at least 13 championships, and possibly many more.
If your question is intended to include lower divisions of college football, where an "official" champion is selected via playoffs, the answer would be The Mount Union Purple Raiders in Division III, with 10 titles.
