How many national championships has Alabama won?
The University of Alabama has won a total of 16 national championships in college football across three different eras, making it the most successful program in the history of the sport. The Crimson Tide has won nine titles in the Associated Press poll era (since 1936), six in the Bowl Coalition/Bowl Alliance/BCS era (since 1992) and one in the College Football Playoff era (since 2014). Alabama also has won as many national titles in the past decade as any other program over the past 50 years. This success has been largely due to the team's dominance in the Southeastern Conference, where it has won 23 conference championships since 1933.
