princeton
since the establishment of college football in 1869, national titles were split for much of its history. the 1869 season saw only two games, a home-and-home series between rutgers and princeton, and with each team winning one game, both schools claim the 1869 national championship. princeton won the following year's national title by winning its only game of the season, while rutgers went 1-1 and columbia losing their only game. this was the first undisputed title in college football history. from 1893 to 1906, the title was split 13 out of 14 seasons. perhaps the widest split title in college football history occurred in 1921, when six separate schools were all declared national champions of the same season. from 1910 to 1942, not one single title was undisputed. the 1943, 1948, 1963, 1971, and 1972 seasons ended with a single undisputed champion, but the next one to follow that would be the 2013 championship won by florida state. in all, in the century from 1910 to 2009, multiple schools were awarded the championship 95 times. many college football historians combat the severe splitting of titles by only recognizing titles issued by the ap poll or the coaches' poll, and calling titles issued by both "consensus national championships"
