Of the 18 teams, only seven have won five or more national titles: Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, Miami, Nebraska, and Ohio State.

The 1957 AU team was great but the Coaches didn't award them the title? Oh that's right, they were on probation....I almost forgot.
BTW, most reasonable fans know that we have 8 legit titles (AP/UPI/Coaches) but we also can't disregard what happened prior to 1936.
Also Tiger, unfortunately for you, we as fans can not decide if a NC is deserved. MOST people recognize everything AWARDED by the AP/UPI/Coaches.
