Crimson Tide Defense RIDICULOUS; Alabama Comprises Half of Lombardi Finalists

By

It's a shame Alabama has no placekicker. Really no one has feet in the state of Alabama? A prestigious program such as the Crimson Tide can't recruit a real kicker?

#2 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Tennessee Volunteers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

By

You can argue that any of these three teams (LSU Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners and Alabama Crimson Tide) are the true kings of college football. Each of them have a legit case to be #1. The Oklahoma State Cowboys, Wisconsin Badgers and Boise State Broncos belong in the discussion too. Don't forget about the Stanford Cardinal either. My choice in the preseason remains the same … [Read more...] about #2 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Tennessee Volunteers: Brutally Honest Game Preview
