  • Yale won 4 in a row between 1881 and 1884, won 5 in a row between 1891 and 1895, won 3 in a row between 1900 and 1902, and 3 in a row between 1905 and 1907.

  • Notre Dame won back to back in 1929 and 1930 and 1946 and 1947.
  • USC won back to back in 1931 and 1932 and in 2003 and 2004 (2004 national Championship was vacated due to NCAA violations).
  • Pitt won back to back in 1915 and 1916 and 1936 and 1937.
  • Harvard won back to back in 1898 and 1899.
  • Oklahoma won back to back in 1955 and 1956 and 1974 and 1975.
  • Penn won back to back in 1894 and 1895.
  • Michigan State won back to back in 1951 and 1952 and 1965 and 1966.

  • Texas won back to back in 1969 and 1970.
  • Army won 3 in a row between 1944 and 1946 (Draft was in effect college players could play for Army instead of fighting in WWII).
  • Mississippi won back to back in 1959 and 1960.
  • SMU won back to back in 1981 and 1982.
It is important to understand that many of these schools won National Championships on the same years as other schools as there was no single governing body that awarded the National Championship several polls and mathematics's formulas were used to determine the champ prior to 1996. All championships before 1933 were all awarded in 1933 because these were determined on historical research i.e. in 1884 Princeton was 1-1 and Yale was 1-0 neither played the other so both were awarded the National Championship (Harvard went 0-2). To this day there is no single body that awards the title for example in 2003 the USA today awarded the title to LSU and the AP awarded it to USC. However since the inception of the BCS in 1996 no team has won back to back except for USC in 2003 and 2004 but the 2003 title was disputed and the 2004 title was vacated due to the Reggie Bush incident.

Which college team has won the most national championships in college football?

Cincinnati bearcatsSince the question does not restrict the answer to a particular division, the answer is the Mount Union Purple Raiders, who have won 10 Division III National Championships.There are a couple of Division I-A teams who "have" more than 10 national championships, but few, if any, of them were actually "won", as is required by the parameters of this question. Prior to the inception of the BCS system, national championships were awarded by various polling groups (AP, UPI, Coaches, etc.). The only thing any team "won" in those years was a popularity contest vote. Nothing was won on the field of play. Nothing was won in a game. With the inception of the BCS in 1998, the two "best" teams in the country faced each other in a "national championship game", and the national champion was the team that won that game. 1998 was the first time a Division I-A national championship was "won" by anyone.There are those who say that even the BCS does not crown a "true" national champion, because they disagree with the way the "two best" teams are selected. I sympathize with this position, and agree that we will never have a "true" national champion in Division I-A until the NCAA adopts an 8-team or 16-team playoff. But, in the meantime, at least the national champions can claim that they won the national championship, because they did win it, in a game, on the field, even if some believe the team they beat wasn't the strongest possible opponent.But it makes no difference for the answer to this question, because the most national championships any Division I-A team has "won" under the BCS system is 2, which doesn't come anywhere near Mount Union's 10. By the way, the Division III national champion is, and always has been, determined by a playoff. So all 10 of Mount Union's championships would be considered as having been "won", by ANYONE'S standards.
