Alabama beat USC Alabama was the champions
Alabama Crimson Tide
National Champions
Alabama football is doing well, as they have an excellent recruiting class this year coming off the National Championship. They are projected to be in the top 5 by many scouts and predicted to repeat as national champions by some. Alabama is the defending national champion in college football. With that in mind they are doing extremely well. For 2010, they have most of their team coming back and should be a favorite to repeat as national champion. The key matchup for them in the early part of the season is hosting Penn State in week 2. Should be fun to watch.
10-0 (7-0 SEC) National Champions
Though they didn't have a National Championship game back in 1961 the Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 10-3 in the Sugar Bowl and went on to be voted National Champions.
Alabama has the most national championships for ncaa football with 12. Notre Dame is right behind them with 11. ROLL TIDE!!!!!
14,ACCORDING TO THE FINAL AP POLLS(1936-PRESENT). IT IS ALSO INTERESTING THAT,WHEREAS, MOST CONFERENCES HAVE HAD THEIR NATIONAL CHAMPIONS COME FROM 2-4 SCHOOLS, THE SEC HAS HAD NATIONAL CHAMPIONS FROM ALABAMA, AUBURN,FLORIDA, GEORGIA, LSU, AND TENNESSEE.
The University of Florida men's basketball team won the NCAA title in 2006 and 2007.
2005 but it doesn't count because they didn't beat an SEC team for the championship.
Florida, Alabama and LSU
Personally or in my opinion, I believe that the crimson tide, University of Alabama,is the most popular nickname considering that they have the most BCS National Championships and that they are the reigning bcs national champions for 2009.
