College Football Royalty - UPDATED

This is my third re-post of this info, updated after last night's Alabama win over Georgia.  Saban extends his lead over Meyer to 6-3 and pulls even with the Bear with 6 titles.  He has won those 6 over the last 13 years in which he has coached in college, an unprecedented rate of success.  Like everyone else, I've run out of words to describe Nick Saban.  At the same time, Alabama continues to stretch their lead of poll-era championships, now 4 clear of Notre Dame.

As a follow-up to the season I looked at the historical AP and Coaches polls and added them up.  The thing to remember is that until 1968 for AP and 1974 for Coaches, the polls were taken before the bowls, which used to be considered kind of like exhibitions or bonuses for good seasons.  Coaches polls started in 1950 and AP in 1936.  Alabama claims several championships outside of the AP or Coaches polls, which to me are totally bogus.  For instance in 1941 every poll of substance named Minnesota champion, but one obscure poll named Alabama, and they still claim it.  Also, you can make the case that they did not deserve their 1964 and 1973 championships since they lost their bowl games, or 1978 when they split with USC but lost to them in the regular season.  Regardless, I'm showing the official results of the polls below.  Whether some of these can be disputed or not, these are the royalty.  The numbers in parenthesis indicate total AP+Coaches championships and the number that were undisputed.  The asterisk indicates a split championship:
