Alabama football is the flag bearer for college football. The football program has the opportunity to go for its sixth title in ten years. Alabama football head coach Nick Saban will ensure the Tide does not incur any roadblocks.

Every year, Alabama football is considered the top college football team in the country.

Lose a championship game with one second left. No problem, the Tide will come back and win it all next year.

The former SEC Offensive Player of the Year is struggling. No problem, get true freshman Tua warmed up for the most critical game of the season.

The 2016 defense is bandied about as one of college history’s best. No problem, reload and lead the nation in defense again.

When will this dynasty cease?

Alabama football is continuously mentioned as the 33^rdNFL team, and that moniker appears correct. The program had twelve players drafted into the NFL from this past season. Five more signed undrafted free-agent deals.

Nick Saban has had 26 first round draft picks during his tenure at Alabama, which is more than his 20 losses.

Can the Saban-built Alabama football train be derailed this season? Experts swiftly point out the Crimson Tide’s soft schedule and immediately pin Alabama football a lock for the College Football Playoff.

Several factors could keep the Tide away from their sixth title in ten years and Saban’s record-breaking seventh title.
