UGA Ranks 16th Best College Sports Program

The University of Georgia has the 16th best college sports program in the nation, according to a new survey from SmartClass.

Using data from the NCAA record books, StartClass ranked the top 25 colleges with the most NCAA team national championships. It focused only on Division I schools that had won NCAA-designated titles.

College football national championships at the Football Bowl Subdivision level — which are determined by the College Football Playoff system and, prior to that, by national polls — are not officially sanctioned by the NCAA, so to include them, the company went outside of NCAA boundaries.

There was a noticeable gap between the top three schools on this list — all with 100 or more national championships — and the rest of the field.

UGA has won a total of 29 NCAA team nation titles, and women’s gymnastics leads in that category with 10. Its most recent national title came in women’s swimming and diving in 2014.
