National championships
Kiosk in the Great Hall at Heinz Field celebrating Pitt's 1976 national championship
The University of Pittsburgh claims nine national championships for the Panthers football team: four that are mostly unanimous, (1916, 1918, 1937, and 1976) and five shared titles (1915, 1929, 1931, 1934, 1936).
The University bases its claim for the first eight national championships on a study conducted in 1970 by Sports Illustrated.[6] These championships, together with its unanimous championship of 1976, are the basis for the university's claim of eight national championship seasons.
Furthermore, according to research conducted by the College Football Data Warehouse,[7] in eight additional years at least one selector of national championships has declared Pitt as its national champion. Combined with the Sports Illustrated study, Pitt has been recognized as the national champion by at least one selector in 17 different seasons. According to the Official NCAA Division 1 Football Records Book, Pitt has been named a national champion by a "Major Selector" in 12 separate seasons.[8]
Note: The table lists all known national championship selections for the University of Pittsburgh. The list of national championship selecting organizations choosing Pitt for any particular year is not necessarily comprehensive.
