Final answer:

The statement in question includes both a factual statement about NCAA football championships and an opinion based on that fact, concluding with a reasoned judgment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "The University of Alabama Crimson Tide have won more NCAA football championships than any other program in history, so I'm comfortable saying it's the best college football program ever."

is a mix of both fact and opinion. The first part of the sentence provides a factual statement about the number of championships won, which is a piece of information that can be proven. However, the conclusion that this makes them the 'best' is a reasoned judgment or an opinion, as 'best' is a subjective term that can vary based on individual criteria for what constitutes the 'best'.

The statement "The University of Alabama Crimson Tide have won more NCAA football championships than any other program in history, so I'm comfortable saying it's the best college football program ever" is a reasoned judgment.

It is not a statement of opinion, as it is based on factual information about the number of championships won by the University of Alabama compared to other programs. However, it is also not a fact, as the claim of being the best college football program is subjective and open to interpretation.
