CFB Betting Frequently Asked Questions
What is Futures betting in NCAAF?
Futures betting refers to wagers such as who will win the national championship or which team will win any given conference. These tend to be long-term bets that will see your stake tied up for some time and require patience from the bettor, but which can prove lucrative if you were to back something early at big odds.
What’s the best betting advice for NCAAF?
Sportsbooks are always looking to attract new customers and many use the incentive of sign-up bonuses as one way of doing this.
These bonuses usually come in the form of free betting credits once you have made your first deposit and can be used to have a risk free bet on the NCAAF.
Some sportsbooks will also offer enhanced odds on certain outcomes in NCAAF games, particularly during the Bowls season.
Which schools have won the most national championships (as claimed by schools)?
The number of national championships claimed by college football programs varies, especially when considering titles from the early years of the sport. According to ESPN, the schools with the most NCAA-recognized national championships are:
- Yale: 18 championships
- Alabama: 16 championships
- Princeton: 15 championships
- Notre Dame: 13 championships
- Michigan: 10 championships
- USC: 9 championships
- Harvard: 8 championships
- Ohio State: 8 championships
- Oklahoma: 7 championships
- Minnesota: 6 championships
It's important to note that some schools claim more national championships than the NCAA officially recognizes. For instance, Princeton claims 28 titles, and Yale claims 27, including championships from the early years of college football that the NCAA does not officially recognize.
These discrepancies arise because, prior to the establishment of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) in 1998 and the College Football Playoff (CFP) in 2014, national champions were often determined by various polls and organizations, leading to multiple teams claiming the title in a single year. This lack of a standardized system resulted in schools claiming different numbers of championships based on different selecting organizations.
