The NCAA Division I-A national football championship is the only Division I-A NCAA-sponsored sport without an organized tournament to determine its champion; in fact, while various other organizations (as described below) designate a national champion at the Division I-A level, the NCAA itself does not award a championship for Division I-A football.

Debate: Playoff or polls?

Although football is the most popular NCAA sport and the sport in which public interest in the "championship" might be highest, there may be in fact no undisputed champion in any given year. Criticisms lodged against the NCAA DI-A football division include the fact that the final ranking of NCAA DI-A football teams is decided by subjective standards, which are often regarded as being arbitrary. Many believe that the champion of the most popular collegiate sport should not be decided by polls; others regard the poll system as well-tested and as appropriate for an amateur collegiate sport. The major push for changes to the system is less than a decade old, while Bowl traditions approach a century old. The most vocal supporters of a change to the system are some fans, some coaches and the ESPN network (which would profit handsomely from a change), whereas other fans and coaches, and most school presidents, largely favor the current system.[1]. However, one prominent dissenting college president is Bernie Machen, president of the University of Florida who has said "We need a playoff." and has promised to campaign to bring a play-off to the sport.^[1] Florida State president T. K. Wetherell has also expressed support.^[1] A mythical national championship (often abbreviated MNC) is a national championship that is won without a tournament to determine an undisputed national champion. ...

Since the start of college football, there have been many individuals, publications and organizations that have selected their national champion. Some carried more weight than others. Also, some organizations have gone back and researched those early seasons and retroactively constructed rankings and determined recognized champions of major college football. Some examples of these type of polls include the National Championship Foundation, the College Football Researchers Association, and the Helms Athletic Foundation. Other systems, such as the Dickinson System, used statistical analysis to determine a ranking. The Helms Foundation was founded in Los Angeles in the mid-1930s by Bill Schroader and Paul Helms, and researched records to rank the US top college basketball teams dating back to 1901. ...

One of the first major media poll was the AP Poll released in 1936, and is still in use today. This poll utilizes a vast network of sportswriters to determine its ranking. Although modified slightly, another poll still in use today is the Coaches Poll, which polls a random selection of 62 collegiate football head coaches to determine its ranking. The Associated Press (AP) Poll, along with the USA Today Coaches Poll, ranks the top 25 NCAA Division I college football and basketball teams, weekly. ...

The tradition, and the controversy, is carried on today with the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), created for the 1998 season, and its predecessors — the Bowl Coalition from seasons 1992 to 1994, and the Bowl Alliance from seasons 1995 to 1997. The AP and Coaches' polls, computer rankings, strength of schedule and performance against other top teams were combined into a formula, with the top two teams meeting in the BCS National Championship Game. But the system has not been without controversy. The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is designed to pair the top two teams in college football against each other for a National Championship game. ...

Most recently, in 2003 USC did not play in the BCS title game, despite finishing the regular season as #1 in both the AP and coaches polls. In the BCS formula Oklahoma was ranked #1 at the end of the regular season and LSU ended up #2. Under the BCS agreement Oklahoma played LSU in the championship game. LSU won the BCS title game, giving it the BCS title and #1 ranking in the coaches' poll, while the sportswriters voted USC #1 in the AP poll. The resulting "split" national championship induced more tweaks to the BCS formula for the 2004 season.

On two occasions, the BCS formula has worked ideally. In both 2002 and 2005, there were only two undefeated teams at the end of the season. In 2002 those teams were the Ohio State Buckeyes (OSU) and the Miami Huricanes. In 2005 those teams were the USC Trojans and the Texas Longhorns. In 2002 the Ohio State Buckeyes defeated Miami in the Fiesta Bowl to claim the title and in 2005 the Texas Longhorns defeated USC in the Rose Bowl to claim the title. The use of the Bowl Championship Series formula, however, has fostered debate amongst those college football fans who are proponents of a playoff system. The term Division I-A was not used until 1978, and before that the term 'major college champion' was often used.

Football Bowl Subdivision

On August 3, 2006, the Division I Board of Directors took action regarding the two football subdivisions in Division I (Division I-A and I-AA), the Board approved new labels. The presidents approved a change in terminology to "Football Bowl Subdivision" for the former I-A classification and "NCAA Football Championship Subdivision" for the former I-AA group. The Collegiate Commissioners Association helped develop the new labels.

The presidents believe the new nomenclature, which becomes effective in December 2006, more accurately distinguishes Division I institutions for purposes of governing football, the only sport for which such a distinction is necessary. Members felt the old nomenclature inaccurately tiered Division I institutions in all sports, not just football, and produced instances in which media outlets and other entities incorrectly cited institutions as being Division I-AA in basketball or baseball, for example.

The new nomenclature does not effect the voting structure used in Division I governance matters.

Rankings overview

As mentioned previously, the NCAA does not award a consensus national champion for Division I-A football. Throughout the season, human polls are used to decide who are the top teams. The most widely accepted polls in use today are the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll. Beginning in 1998, the BCS became the determining system in crowning a national champion. The BCS uses both objective and subjective data, including human polls, to determine the top two teams at the end of the season. Those two teams play each other in a National Championship Game.

Prior to 1936, determining national champions is more difficult. According to the website, College Football Data Warehouse, the most acceptable selectors throughout history are the National Championship Foundation, Helms Athletic Foundation, and the College Football Researchers Association.^[2]

Most national championships

This is a source of much debate. Before 1901 the national title was dominated by teams that are now members of the Ivy League. Yale and Princeton each claim as many as 24 national championships. However, Yale's last title was in 1927 and Princeton's was in 1935 (according to Dunkel, not reflected above). The University of Michigan won the first non-Ivy League national championship in 1901 (game played in January, 1902). The Ivy League is an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education located in the Northeastern United States. ...

To settle countless arguments, Sports Illustrated in 1970 researched the first and only complete and wholly accurate list ever compiled of college football's mythical national champions. Every recognized authority that ever presumed to name a No. 1 was included: Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, United Press International and many other authorities. At that time they claimed Notre Dame had the most national championships with 17, USC 13, Yale 13, Princeton 12, Alabama 10, and Pittsburgh 9.[2] A mythical national championship (often abbreviated MNC) is a national championship that is won without a tournament to determine an undisputed national champion. ...

Using only the sources from the National Championship Foundation or the "consensus" champion, the following teams have won the most championships since 1901:
