Breakdown of College Football National Championships?

Hey all, I've been doing some research about colleges and their football programs. I'm really interested to know which conference in college football has won the most national championships. Just trying to get some insight. Any ideas?

When discussing college football championships, it's important to note that there are various ways to count championships due to different entities naming national champions in the past. However, as of now, the College Football Playoff National Championship is considered the official national championship title.

Over the years, the "Power Five" conferences (SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and Pac-12) have dominated title winnings since the inception of Bowl Championship Series (the precursor to current College Football Playoff system) in 1998:

1. Southeastern Conference (SEC): Currently, the SEC leads with the highest number of titles, largely due to the Alabama's recent dominance in college football. The SEC has accumulated most of its championships in the last two decades.

2. Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC): The ACC is next in line, with several championships credited to Florida State and Clemson University.

3. Big Ten: Big Ten ranks third, with Ohio State primarily contributing to the conference's national championship total.

4. Big 12: Following the Big Ten, we have the Big 12. They've seen a couple of championships, primarily from the University of Texas.

5. Pac-12: The Pac-12 has the fewest number of championships in recent history with their last one coming from the University of Southern California.

Please note that these numbers can vary depending on the source and what years or championships are considered. Also, keep in mind that recent conference realignments can influence these data points, so always check for the latest info.
