Star power? No. Just no.
How many true stars come through Alabama? As in, JFF, Cam Newton, Matt Leinart type of folks. Where the attention exceeds just football, and borders on celebrity? Not many. Alabama is a blue collar football program, and a good one. But it isn't sexy, like Texas would be.
As for Bear, who is really the only Alabama icon universally admired, it's part success and part cultural phenomenon. In today's age, Bear would be a bigger national icon from Texas than Alabama. It's pretty simple.

You mean like three Super Bowl winning QBs?

Alabama has 7 players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame - which is more than Texas.
