"Let's take a look at the top ten NCAA Division I universities with the most National Championships since 1900:
#1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish - Though their last National Championship was more than twenty years ago, the Fighting Irish are still on top of the heap when it comes to the total amount of titles they've won. Their thirteen titles place them three ahead of the second place college and well ahead of the schools behind that. From the 1910's through the 1980's, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish were able to win at least one National Championship in every decade except the 1950's. In fact, in the 1940's alone they won the National Title on four different occasions.
#2 Alabama Crimson Tide - With ten National Championships to their credit, the University of Alabama is one of only two colleges with double digit National Titles to their name. Most of their titles were won under the watch of their famous head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant."
