Conference realignment has changed the look of
college athletics, and perhaps no sport has been
more aff ected than football. If the college football
schedule feels unfamiliar to fans who are still struggling to
comprehend how schools on opposite coasts now play in
the same conference, it might be comforting to refl ect on
which conference has produced the most national champions
over the years. According to ESPN, that distinction
belongs to the Big Ten, which has produced 31 national
champions, including the 2023-24 Michigan Wolverines.
Th e Southeastern Conference is the next most prolifi c
group, with 27 national championships to its credit. Nearly
half of those titles belong to the University of Alabama,
which has won 13 titles, including six since 2009. Th e Pac-
12 Conference, which was dealt perhaps the most signifi -
cant blow in the wake of realignment and competed with
just two full-member
institutions (Oregon
State and Washington
State) in the
2024-25 season, is
the third winningest
conference, with 15
national championships
to its credit.
