CFBDatawarehouse lists them with 7 recognized national championships:

The problem is that all but 3 occured prior to 1936, the first year the
AP Poll was used. Since that time, generally everybody "recognizes" the
winner of the AP Poll as owning at least a share of the national title.
Before 1936, exactly which polls/ratings sytems are valid national
championship selectors is open to debate. Many of these early national
championships were rewarded *years* after those seasons ended.
