Alabama Crimson Tide Fun Facts
The Alabama Crimson Tide football program is a college football team that represents the University of Alabama (variously Alabama, UA, or 'Bama). The team currently competes in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision as a member of the Southeastern Conference. The Crimson Tide is one of the most storied and decorated programs in NCAA history. Since beginning play in 1892, the program has claimed 12 national championships, and its seven consensus national championships rank second only to Notre Dame's eight. From 1958 to 1982, the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, who won six national championships with the program. Despite multiple national champions, no player for the program has ever received a Heisman Trophy, the closest coming in 1993 when David Palmer finished third in the voting.
Alabama has amassed the seventh-most victories in Division I with 807, for a sixth-best .711 winning percentage. Alabama has won 25 conference championships, (four Southern Conference and 21 SEC championships) and has made an NCAA-record 56 postseason bowl appearances, which includes a record 31 victories.[b] Other NCAA records include eight perfect, undefeated and untied, seasons, 21 10-game win streaks, and is second only to the Oklahoma Sooners with 29 10–win seasons. The program has six SEC West Division titles, which leads the West Division with six appearances in SEC Championship Games. Alabama holds a winning record against every current and former SEC school. The Associated Press (AP) currently ranks Alabama fifth in all-time final AP Poll appearances, with 46.
