How many championships has Alabama won?
Four, which is a lot considering that proper college football championship games have only been a thing since 2007. The Crimson Tide won BCS National Championships in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The team also won the second College Football Playoff National Championship in 2016.

How many championships has Clemson won?
None ...
... yet.
 

This is an alleged sports writer for CNN. Perhaps I am missing something, but there were "proper" championship games before 2007. At least since 1999, when the BCS was created. I realize there's plenty of dispute about what occurred before then, but this article provides zero context.
