Big football fan here, but I realized I didn't know which college football conference has historically claimed the most championships. Could someone enlighten me?
The college football conference with the most championships is the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The SEC, particularly with the dominating performances of schools like Alabama and LSU in recent years, has been a dominant force in college football. Do keep in mind that the number of championships can vary depending on the source, due to disputes in the past over championship claims. The NCAA itself does not officially declare a champion for Division I FBS football, so titles are claimed based either on rankings in polls or performance in post-season "bowl games." Therefore, different sources might count different championships, but it's generally accepted that the SEC has the most.
