How many schools have National Titles in both football and basketball?

[Ohio Dem]

The only three I can think of are Florida, Ohio State, and Michigan.

And if you include baseball, then the list gets smaller: only OSU and UM.

Am I wrong on this?

1. Interested To See The College Sports Experts Comment

I really don't know, but it's an interesting question. I know Florida did it. Pretty darned recently.

And, the other two seem right to me. But, i don't know i would have thought of OSU, since the b-ball title was pretty long ago.

I wonder if there are more.

2. Nine..

Nine schools have won a football "poll" title and an NCAA basketball title. They are: Florida, Maryland, Syracuse, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, California, Stanford, and UCLA.

3. So if you include baseball, there are four.

Michigan, Ohio State, California, and Stanford.

16. And of those, only Michigan has a men's hockey championship as well.

Actually, I think they have 9 of them.

[Ohio Dem]

17. Yeah, I wasn't going to mention that.

As an Ohio State fan, I was actually hoping nobody would bring that up. :)

4. Yep. I was going to say Maryland

And of those how many have had National Championships in both MEN'S and WOMEN's Basketball...

6. UCONN did that in the same year, if I remember correctly.

7. Yeah but they don't have the football championship

Maryland has a LOT of national titles in different sports..basketball, football, Soccer, Field Hockey, La Cross...:)

8. That list should also include Arkansas

They've never won an AP or Coaches Poll, but then neither has California or Stanford, whose national titles in football come either from before 1936 (when the AP poll started) or from minor polls after it.

9. Yes they should

The big 1964 football national championship trophy is on display in Fayetteville, the year the Hogs went undefeated and won their bowl game. And the Hogs led by Corliss Williamson won the NCAA basketball chamionship in 1994 defeating Duke in the final game.

[madinmaryland]

10. The whole "title" thing is pretty ambiguous.

Sounds like the Hogs would be the tenth team. Nolan Richardson had some pretty impressive squads!

12. As did Eddie Sutton in the 70's and 80's.

19. Then the championship was decided before bowl games.Alabama was national champ but were beaten

in the Sugar Bowl by Texas,whose only loss loss in the regular season was to Arkansas.And Arkansas beat Ole Miss in the Cotton Bowl. Today they would have been undisputed national champs.Bama was undefeated until the Sugar Bowl loss.

That 1964 Alabama team was QB'ed by Broadway Joe Namath and that Sugar Bowl was a hell of a game.Texas jumped out to a big lead but Joe came close to pulling off a win.

20. Alabama and Arkansas were both national champs that year

Alabama won the AP Trophy, and also finished first in the UPI poll, which as you noted were voted on before the bowl games.

Arkansas won the Grantland Rice Trophy, awarded to the national champion as declared by the Football Writers Association of America (which waited until after the bowl games to make their decision).

Speaking of Joe Namath: I just saw him this morning on an old episode of the Brady Bunch :)

21. Too late to edit.Texas beat Alabama in the Orange Bowl, not the Sugar Bowl.

Everything else is accurate. Texas beat Alabama 21 to 17 in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1st,1965.

11. How many have multiple national titles in football & basketball?

I know Florida, OSU?

[hughee99]

15. Ohio State only has 1 in basketball (1960). n/t

13. How many College World Series Most Outstanding Players

have managed a MLB World Series Champion?

Terry Francona

[fishwax]

14. There are two teams left in the tournament that could add to the total

Pittsburgh, which has won a couple of titles in football but never in basketball, and Oklahoma, which has won more NCAA tournament games without winning a championship than any team other than Illinois ...

18. Kansas Orange bowl football and finals in BB
