Alabama has had success of recruiting players, for example some of the Hall of Famers Ozzie Newsome, Joe Namath, and Derrick Thomas (Heos p.25). They have had some other players that are not yet Hall of Famers Julio Jones and Amari Cooper (Heos p.32). The reason most of these top players they getting to go to their school is because look at how they have had. They have won the most Championships and some of the best coaches (Maisel p.1).

My side is Auburn, your side may be ‘Bama, but let me ask you this, what’s more important, statistics and championships, or close friendships and having the most fun possible while getting great grades? To me statics are important but friends and family are more important. That’s why I’m Auburn.

The football coaches at Auburn University play one of the most crucial roles in the culture of Auburn football. Most often, they are the face of Auburn University football. Media spends more time talking to coaches than to anyone else on the team. The coaches are able to give Auburn fans hope beginning a new season or even in the midst of a tough season. Auburn has had many great coaches over the past one hundred years and many are still highly revered by fans.

There are very few people (those few being Alabama fans) who will not call Deshaun Watson one of the best College quarterbacks of the decade. When we look at the way he played against Alabama in the Championship game, especially in the fourth quarter when he let the Tigers to a stunning win, all of his stats point to the NFL. But, so did Tim Tebow, Mr. Football Johnny Manziel, and Vince Young.

Regardless of rankings, each of the 64 teams are starting with zero losses. After all is said and done, the Michigan State Spartans looked like the best team in the country by seasons end. However, the truth about the best team will not be known until the final game concludes on April

The turmoil at Florida after Urban Myer left, the chaos that has been Tennessee, which has only recently been calmed by the inception of Butch Jones or the consistent underperformance of Mark Richt coached Georgia teams. However, although coaching is a factor, perhaps the true reason lies with recruiting. It stands to reason that the better players on the field will win. Yes, we all know of the team that overperforms. They play above their ability. In most cases though, when lined up across from each other on the line of scrimmage, the best player will win. This year, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida are all boasting top 10 recruiting classes, although Tennessee might be just outside. However, they have had two top 10 classes in recent years. Better players, an upgrade in coaches and a desire to regain dominance or at least relevance in their own conference is why this might be the SEC east’s

Many of the traditions that make Texas A&M unique find their origins in Texas Aggie football. Standing with the student body as part of the 12th Man helped me to understand the traditions and commitment of the original 12th man as he stood on the sidelines. It is this sense of loyalty to the 12th Man that makes every Aggie fan proud when they hear the roar of the crowd. Aggies say that they have seen their team win and lose, but none have ever seen them quit. This is the same when it comes to the Texas Aggies, and part of what makes Texas A&M so special.

Belichick and Alabama head coach, Nick Saban are very good friends and they both run very similar defenses with Belichick showing a liking towards defensive players who played for Alabama under Nick Saban illustrated by Donta Hightower, Vinnie Sunseri, Xzavier Dickson and Brandon Deadrick being players Belichick has snapped up who also sported Crimson Tide colours. One of the traits Belichick admires is versatility and versatility is the name of the game for Cyrus Jones who came into Alabama as a 4-star wide receiver before switching to cornerback in his sophomore campaign, he is also an excellent return man as shown by his four punt return touchdowns in college. Jones projects to be the No. 3 cornerback behind Superbowl hero, Malcolm Butler and Logan Ryan and has done a good job in camp of jamming receivers at the line and knocking players off their routes. Jones’ competitiveness has already stood out at camp to teammate Logan Ryan who was quoted as saying “I’m not one to grade people, I’m not Coach Belichick, but I can just tell, the kid’s an athlete, the kid’s a competitor. You see that in the locker room. You see that on the field. He fits right in with what we’re trying to do, and I think the whole bunch of rookies and Justin Coleman and all those guys are doing a great job of just competing every

Majority of the Owls' success came from their fantastic defense that had three caliber NFL players in defensive lineman Matt Ioannadis, linebacker Tyler Matakevich and cornerback Tavon Young.

When living in Alabama, there are two major cities that everyone knows. Most people know these two cities so well that they probably do not even know the state's very own capital city, Montgomery. The two places are Tuscaloosa and Auburn, Alabama. These two cities are not just any old Montgomery, Birmingham, or maybe even Phoenix. No, they are something bigger. Their colleges are famous among Alabama residents. Any state that you visit, I'm sure a college rival is larger than life itself, but for some people, it's their lifestyles. On the Eastern side of the state, there are crimson and white flags waving. On the Western side of the state, there are orange and navy blue flags being waving.When it comes down to their fans, the real MVPs or most valuable players are the real winners. I am not an Auburn fan, so I do not know their traits, but I do know Alabama Fans' characteristics.
