Which college football conference has won the most national championships?

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 divisions Recognized National Championships 1. 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-1 3 - 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.

Paul Bryant won 6 Championships '61,'64,'65,'73,'78,'79 Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden, Pete Carol and Urban Meyer are all tied with 2.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
