There have been many memorable and historic teams in the annals of college football, and some of those have come by way of THE Ohio State University. On the shortlist of the best college football programs of all time, the Buckeyes claim eight national titles to their credit.
But some of those national-title-winning teams stand out from the rest, just like the rest of the college football programs that can claim national supremacy for a season.
Ranking all of those national championship teams can be quite the undertaking, and certainly, a lot of opinion goes into that, but College Football News set out to rank the top 150 national championship-winning teams.
We must first keep in mind that doing this exercise necessitates some guidelines and parameters. After all, some programs like to “claim” national championships without a reputable, external publication agreeing (we’re looking at you Alabama and UCF).
According to Pete Fiutak of College Football News, he believes there are six Ohio State teams among the top 150 national championship winners. First, we’ll get the guidelines out of the way, then run through the teams noted for making the list.
