Fielding H. Yost won eight national championships during his career. We have used every major selector that is officially listed in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Records1. He has no Consensus National Championships 2 as those were only awarded from 1950 onward.
Since there was no BCS championship game or playoffs during his time period, we are not going to judge which selectors are correct or not because no one knows; you would have to play the game.
