The Crimson Tide were tremendous across the board on their way to leading the 2020-21 Best in College Sports rankings

There is a first time for everything ... even when it comes to CBS Sports' annual Best in College Sports award. After the COVID-19 pandemic forced many spring sports to be canceled last season, CBS Sports is back to crown a new champion following a one-year hiatus.

And for the first time since the award's inception, the winner is also the reigning College Football Playoff national champion.

Alabama has been named Best in College Sports for the 2020-21 season, amassing 583.75 points to top the field with one of the largest margins of victory in history. Oklahoma finished second with 473.75 points, while Iowa was third with 463.25 points.

Consistency is the name of the game for Best in College Sports, and the Crimson Tide were exactly that -- consistent -- across the athletic department. Football won the national title after a 13-0 season, men's basketball (26-7) reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, women's basketball (17-10) reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament, softball (52-9) reached the semifinals of the Women's College World Series, gymnastics finished fifth in the nation, and baseball reached the NCAA Regionals.
