The University of Alabama has won the most national championships (17), more than any other school. Alabama also leads the way in NFL players (532) and coaches (75).

However, Michigan did make the top 10 in the AP Poll for the first time since 2007.

Notre Dame has the most unbeaten seasons, with six, followed by Nebraska and Alabama, both with five, and Oklahoma and Ohio State, all with four. Florida has three, Virginia and Michigan have two, and North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wyoming have one each.

There have been many great teams in Notre Dame history, but no team has gone as long without a loss as the current Notre Dame team, which is still going strong after seven games.

Since 1935, the Heisman Trophy has been given to the best outstanding player in college football. With seven honorees apiece, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Notre Dame tie for the most by a single program. The award is known as the "Heisman" after Dr. James Henry Heismier, who created the trophy in 1939.
Seven players from one school have won the Heisman. They are Woody Hayes (Ohio State, 1970-73), Roger Staubach (Oklahoma, 1963-66), Charlie Ward (Notre Dame, 1987-90), Billy Volek (Western Kentucky, 1995), Ron Dayne (Nebraska, 1998), and Troy Davis (Alabama, 2000-03).
The winner is selected by a committee of sports journalists and broadcasters who vote on their favorite player. Voters can only select one player from each school, so if you want to see more than one Heisman winner from the same school, then they must come from different years.
Alabama enters the College Football Playoff with an 11-0 record and a chance to capture its sixth national title under Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide have been a regular in the College Football Playoff, and they are big favorites against No. 4 Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl, which has been relocated to AT Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
According to William Hill, the Crimson Tide are 17 1/2-point favorites over Notre Dame in their semifinal clash. The last time the two teams faced was in the 2013 BCS title game. Alabama triumphed 42-14.
As the Cougars continued to win and other teams continued to lose, they ascended in the rankings, eventually reaching the top spot on the last weekend of the regular season. BYU then defeated a 6-5 Michigan squad in the Holiday Bowl to claim the only national championship granted to a non-Power 5 school other than Notre Dame in the modern era.
Florida became the first school in history to win both the NCAA football and basketball championships in the same season in 2006. Maryland and Syracuse, both ACC institutions, have won one NCAA football and basketball title.
