Neither team is competing on Saturday, though.No. 1-ranked Oklahoma is the defending champion in Fort Worth, and has dominated in recent years outside of a blip in 2024 when the team was upset in semifinals. The Sooners could be poised to win another title, but will have to get past 2024 champion LSU and No. 3 Florida. The Gators haven't won since 2015, but won the SEC title in March.The full breakdown of national titles:Georgia: 10 (1987, 1989, 1993, 1998-99, 2005-09)Utah: 9 (1982-86, 1990, 1992, 1994-95)UCLA: 7 (1997, 2000-01, 2003-2004, 2010, 2018)Oklahoma: 7 (2014 [tied], 2016-17, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2025)Alabama: 6 (1988, 1991, 1996, 2002, 2011-12)Florida: 3 (2013, 2014 [tied], 2015)Michigan: 1 (2021)LSU: 1 (2024)
