Princeton and Rutger "split" the title in 1869 (both had 1-1 records).
The first non-Ivy League school to make a claim was Lafayette in 1896 (11-0-1 record), though Princeton also makes a claim to that title.
The first non-Ivy League, current division 1 program, to win a championship was Michigan in 1901. Harvard and Yale also made claims that year.

1901 college football national championship?
In college football there are no official national champions at the highest (FBS) level. However, there are "mythical national champions," which are based on consensus opinion. Michigan is the current consensus choice for champion of 1901, but Harvard and Yale also claim that they are national champions for that year. Harvard was the consensus choice of writers at that time, and if there had been an AP poll in 1901, they probably would have been a unanimous #1. Yale bases their claim on the fact that historian Parke Davis retroactively selected them as champion in 1933. But Harvard was 12-0, Yale was 11-1-1, and Harvard beat Yale 22-0. Michigan was first crowned the 1901 champion 40 years after the fact by the Helms Foundation. Most people today view Michigan as the champion. Which is like people 100 years from now considering Boise State the 2009 champion rather than Alabama.
