Only program with 6plus national titles in 2 sports?

Other than those that didn't start winning titles until recently, how many schools really only claim titles awarded by the AP and Coaches Poll? Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas come to mind. I'm probably forgetting some but there can't be that many.

Most schools who won national titles before the advent of the wire service polls claim them.

If Bama dumped the 1941 title, they probably wouldn't get much crap at all about claiming ridiculous national titles. They could probably even claim 1966 instead and it still wouldn't look that bad.

Yeah, the 1941 claim is ridiculous. I've never understood why we don't claim 1945. We went undefeated and demolished USC in the Rose Bowl. And one random selector picked us, just like 1941.

Because Army claims 1945. I feel like you just have to give that to them.

As far as 1941, it's really just hard to imagine why Bama randomly just decided they wanted to claim that one, when there are definitely better years to claim. That one just made little to no sense at all.

Are any of our titles retroactive?

Either way, Kentucky's 1950 title, and Alabama's 1941 title are probably worse than anything we claim.

Also women's basketball shouldn't be included with the other two sports. It's not in the same league as far as competitiveness goes.

Really, How competitive was college basketball during UCLA's streak. Every other womens coach had the same opportunity do what summit did, just like every coach in basketball couldnt compete with wooden.

I thought it would be interesting to try to answer the question (call me :loco:)

The first list is football national titles all claims, disputed and undisputed for everyone with 6 plus titles(I know some of the numbers are crazy but just go with it for now). The second is Mens NCAA tourney wins followed by Women's. After that is the College World Series, again only showing those with more than 6 wins. Finally, for those of us who live north of the Mason-Dixon line, NCAA Hockey championships, 6 or more.

Football School Championships: Princeton 28, Yale 27, Michigan 22, Notre Dame 21, Alabama 17, Oklahoma 17, USC 17, Texas 14, Ohio State 13, Harvard 12, Nebraska 11, Pittsburgh 11, Miami 9, Florida State 7, LSU 7, Minnesota 7, Penn State 7, Tennessee 7, Georgia Tech 6, Michigan State 6, Penn 6

MenÂ’s basketball UCLA 11,Kentucky 7,Indiana 5

WomenÂ’s basketball: Tennessee 8, Connecticut 7

MenÂ’s Baseball College World Series: USC 12, Texas 6, LSU 6

MenÂ’s NCAA Hockey: Michigan 9, Denver 7, North Dakota 7 Wisconsin 6
So depending on what makes the most money in your mind, if it is Football and Basketball, then UT has it, if it is Football and Baseball, then USC, Football and Hockey goes to Michigan.

Ok, that was fun, you can go back to bickering over numbers of titles (as in Alabama with 17? crazy)
:whistling:

EDIT: HAHA, looks like we had the same idea YorkVol...I guess I need to learn how to type faster!

Here we go...

6+ National Titles in Men's Basketball
UCLA - 11
Kentucky - 7

6+ National Titles in Women's Basketball
Tennessee - 8
UConn - 7

6+ Baseball National Titles
USC - 12
LSU - 6
Texas - 6

6+ Ice Hockey National Titles
Michigan - 9
Denver - 7
North Dakota - 7
Wisconsin - 6

6+ Football National Titles (per the combined chart on Wikipedia)
Alabama - 13
Michigan - 11
Notre Dame - 11
USC - 11
Pittsburgh - 9
Ohio State - 7
Oklahoma - 7
Michigan State - 6
Minnesota - 6
Tennessee - 6

So the answer would be: Tennessee, USC and Michigan (if you count hockey).

Anyways...back to the original question. I had a lot of extra time on my hands being snowed/iced in.
(For the sake of argument and comparison, I included more of the 'major' sports.)

Here we go....

6+ National Titles in Men's Basketball
UCLA - 11
Kentucky - 7

6+ National Titles in Women's Basketball
Tennessee - 8
UConn - 7

6+ Baseball National Titles
USC - 12
LSU - 6
Texas - 6

6+ Ice Hockey National Titles
Michigan - 9
Denver - 7
North Dakota - 7
Wisconsin - 6

6+ Football National Titles (per the combined chart on Wikipedia)
Alabama - 13
Michigan - 11
Notre Dame - 11
USC - 11
Pittsburgh - 9
Ohio State - 7
Oklahoma - 7
Michigan State - 6
Minnesota - 6
Tennessee - 6

So the answer would be: Tennessee, USC and Michigan (if you count hockey).

the problem is the answer to the question can't be determined if we are going to use football national titles in the equation without determining which titles are real and which ones are, shall we say, questionable.

the list provided by yorkvol, for example, showed miami with 9 national titles and florida state with 7.

that just ain't the case

There is a difference in being the best of the best and beating a bunch of schools that barely care. The truth is Pat won all of her "titles" because Tennessee sort of took Women's Basketball seriously when 95% of her competition's schools did not. Tennessee's Women's Basketball titles should be taken as seriously as Princeton's football titles when they went 1-0-0 in the 1870s. You cannot compare what Pat Summit did to John Wooden.

Wow, what crawled up your nose about women's bb? I agree that its not necessarily the panaceae of sports, but it still meets all the criterion to be considered a part of the athletic family.

Yeah, except people don't really pay attention if it's women's basketball.

I just think it's laughable when we refer to it as one of the 'big 3.'

College sports is the big 2 and a lot of other sports behind them. It's just how it is.
