1992 is without a doubt my favorite national championship season

Aside from 1925, it is probably the only championship season in Alabama Football history where the Tide remained an underdog for the entirety of it. Lee Corso was on ESPN calling us the worst 4-0 team in the country, the worst 5-0 team in the country, the worst 6-0 team in the country, and on and on and on. No one had us ranked up there with those elite teams like Miami, Florida State, or Washington.

They were also the bluest of blue collar teams. Alabama got it done the old fashioned way. While teams like Florida State and Miami were getting it done through the air, we were grounding it and pounding it. Two yards here, three yards there, all the way down the field. And of course that defense was freaking legendary. Eight of the starting 11 were First Team All-SEC.

And then, of course, you have that Sugar Bowl game. Alabama was anywhere between a 10-14 point underdog. That defense played the game of its life that night. If not for them and special teams, I don't think we beat Miami. The offense only had one good drive all night long. Almost all of our points were set up by the defense.

So I will always have a special place in my heart for 1992. Before Saban got here, that's literally all we had left to hold onto. Four national championships and 25 years later, they are still my favorites!
