NCAA makes UCF’s National Championship official.

Here's the real fun aspect of all this. We Nebraska fans can officially claim we are one of only five schools with an active coach that has won a national title.

Meyer has won three (2006, 2008 and 2014)

Saban has won six (2003, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2017)

Jimbo Fisher has won one (2013)

Dabo Swinney has won one (2016)

And our guy Frost has one (2017)

And to take it a step further, and really annoy Michigan fans, we are the only school* that has an active coach that was won a national title as both a player and a head coach.

* - At least I'm assuming so

Edit: 

Scratch that, Dabo won a title as receiver at Alabama in 1992. Still though, Frost is one of two.

5 Straight National Titles in the 1980s.  Suck on that Saban...

 
Guessing frosts opinion that’s its not really a natty won’t change. I wish the NCAA would get a standard for what actually qualifies then use that for history. It’s pretty silly they recognize 11 titles for Nebraska. But Nebraska only recognizes 5, why do we have higher standards than them
