Since 1936 teams began to be issued actual physical National Championship trophies.  Here are the counts of just how many of these trophies Colleges actually have to display.

The trophies are:  The Grantland Rice Trophy, The MacArthur Trophy, The AP Trophy, the AFCA Trophy, the BCS Trophy, & the CFP Trophy

The Grantland Rice Trophy was last issued in 2013.  If Ohio State can manage to bring home the remaining 4 Trophies next year they will trail only Alabama in number of trophies to display.

* I think USC returned, or were stripped of, 3 of their 2004 trophies.
