Don't know, bro, but I did find this wiki page that says we won the National Championship in 1984 and 1985 (from the Sagarin Ratings). #FeelsRealGood

By Alabama metrics, we can now claim 5 MNC's. Yea Baby!!

If we use those Alabama metrics, then according to this wiki, Princeton has the most national championships of anyone.
