Editorial note
Before the BCS (1998) and the College Football Playoff (2014), national champions were named by polls and selectors, so programs claim titles from different sources. This table lists the titles each program claims.
Current SEC programs have claimed 55 national championships. Alabama leads with 18 national titles, and Oklahoma has seven national titles, and Tennessee has six national titles, and Georgia, LSU and Texas have four national titles, and Florida, Ole Miss and Texas A&M have three national titles, and Auburn has two national titles, and Arkansas has one national title. The other five programs are still chasing a first.
