Though a reasonable person would reduce the SEC total to 19 given the farce of 1964, the last year the AP crowned a champion before bowl season as Bama embarassed them greatly by losing their bowl game after being crowned.

One could further reduce that to 18 because really they imported one when Texas A&M joined. But if one wants to split those hairs, the Big Ten Conference can only boast 10 national championships won by teams while they were actually fully participating in the Big Ten.

A lot of those crowns are suspect. With all the complaining about the BCS, it's still so superior to what we had before such as in 1984 when BYU "earned" the NC by beating a 6-5 team in the Holiday Bowl.
