The NCAA record book recognizes Alabama with nine "consensus" national titles -- six by Bear Bryant, one by Gene Stallings and two by Nick Saban -- and only five for Notre Dame. The NCAA defines "consensus" as meaning a championship bestowed since 1950 by AP, United Press International, Football Writers Association of America, National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame, USA Today/CNN or USA Today/ESPN.

I'd have to add 1925 and 1926 to our total.

That is a nice definition and all, but football was played for well over 60 years before 1950.

Also replace '41 with '66.
