Factoid 370 - Which conference has the most National Championships?

Date: 1/18/15

This is a trick question. Do you count the Ivy League and when they were members of Division One? If so, then the Ivy League has the most National Championships with 80. If you do not count the Ivy League, then the Big Ten has the most National Championships with 75.

Championships Conference
80 Ivy Leaguev
75 Big Ten Conference
60 Southeastern Conference
38 Pacific-12 Conference
36 Atlantic Coast Conference
30 Big 12 Conference
29 FBS Independents
3 American Athletic Conference
0 Conference USA
0 Mid-American Conference
0 Mountain West Conference
0 Sun Belt Conference


To those astute in math, there are many more National Champions than seasons of college football: 355 champions in 146 seasons of college football. This is because prior to the BCS National Championship polls decided champions, and there were often disagreements as to who was number one. For our calculations we used any recognized poll.
