The University of Alabama Crimson Tide lay claim to thirteen national championships. must have been answered by an auburn fan LOL Before 1998 all national championships were voted on by the different media sources. If there was a disagreement with the media then there was more than one national champion, look through the record books and you will see many disputes. The NCAA credits Alabama with 4 additional national championships that they however do not claim. Before 1998 they were claimed and credited, so argue about it all day but 13 is the number and it won't go down. Just wiki Alabama Crimson Tide and read it lists all the championship years and records along with the 4 other ones.
Georgia and Mississippi. The other two are Florida and Tennessee.

Alabama seceded from the Union in 1861 on January 11th because Alabama was one of the states where it was allowed to hold slaves and the other states wouldn't allow it so Alabama wanted to be part of the CSA so they could hold slaves so they seceded from the USA. krL(:
There is no other major sports teams to cheer for. Bama and Auburn is all there is.
This is an opinionated question, but out of the matchup of Florida and Oklahoma, my money would be bet on Florida. Although Oklahoma is the #1 seed and has an explosive offense along with Heisman winner Sam Bradford, don't count out Florida and past Heisman winner Tim Tebow.

Auburn University, originally known as East Alabama Male College, was founded in 1856 by a group of local citizens in Auburn, Alabama. The college's establishment was led by a Methodist minister named William A. Blount, along with other community leaders who sought to provide higher education in the region. In 1872, it became a land-grant institution and was renamed Auburn University in 1960.
Upon entering college in1949 everyone called the college Auburn. It was just too much to say Alabama Polytechnic Institute or even write it on a check. Besides just spelling Polytechnic was a chore so if the official name was used at all it was shortened to API. At that time, it was as if the city of Auburn was named after the school. At football games the cheer leaders would lead with the yell: AU -- BU -- RN and the stadium would join in Auburn, Auburn, Auburn. There was only one college at the time. That other school was called a University.
Auburn is a name shared by several places in the United States and around the world. Notably, Auburn, Alabama, is known for its university and vibrant community, while Auburn, California, is recognized for its Gold Rush history. Additionally, there are other towns named Auburn in states like Washington, Maine, and New York. Each Auburn has its own unique characteristics and attractions.
The University of Alabama's biggest rival is Auburn University. They play each other every year in a game titled the "Iron Bowl".
Bear Bryant referred to Auburn as a "cow town" to emphasize its small-town, rural character, particularly in contrast to larger university towns. The term was meant to highlight the less cosmopolitan nature of Auburn compared to other SEC schools. Despite his comments, Bryant acknowledged the passionate support for Auburn football, and the phrase has since become a part of the rivalry lore between Alabama and Auburn.
1) Bryant was head coach of the University of Kentucky between 1946-1953. His first SEC loss at Lexington was November 1, 1947 against Alabama, 13-0. 2) Bryant was head coach of the University of Alabama between 1958-1982. His first SEC loss at home was November 29, 1958 to Auburn, 14-8, in Birmingham. Removing the Auburn games from the mix, since those games at the time were all played in Birmingham and Auburn would play at least one home game in Birmingham each year, the first SEC team he lost to other than Auburn at home was Florida on October 6, 1963 by the score of 10-6. That game was played in Tuscaloosa.
