#2 - Oklahoma
The fifth most national titles of all-time (current era or not, consensus or not) 17 titles is a lot. The Sooners also have 7 consensus national titles. The Sooners were one of the most dominating teams in college football history in the 1970s and early 1980s much to the chagrin of my beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers. Percentage wise, Barry Switzer is one of the the best coaches in college football history, but suprisingly enough this wasn't the hayday of Sooner football.
In the 1950s the Sooners had 50+ game winning streak that has yet to be equaled in the modern era of college football. Even Nebraska's 60-3 record in the 90s pales in comparison. Bud Wilkinson started an unbelievable football tradition at OU which continued under Switzer in the 70s. This tradition also arguably spawned the UT/OU rivalry and made UT into a football power as Darrell Royal was a former player and assistant for Wilkinson at OU. As much as I hate to say it, Oklahoma is the preeminent college football power.
