Should Alabama fans root for Auburn to win a National Championship this year?

Ok I know that its crazy but listen up! Alabama fans should be rooting for Auburn to win the National Championship if they make it, if in two weeks Auburn upends Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Do not throw stones at me yet, first read and think about it before you do any type of negative reactions.

First off, I know last year Auburn fans did not want Alabama to win the National Championship but Alabama fans here is where you can show you are different than Auburn fans. Just think about it for a minute if Auburn were to win, that would make it the first time in BCS history that two teams from the same state won the National Title in back to back years. How great would that be for the state and say about the football us in Alabama came to cheer for and love. It would most likely be for a good twenty to thirty years  that another state even comes close. If you look at other states like Florida, Texas, and California they only have one dominate team in the state and one of the states top team is on probation right now, ill let you figure out who that one is. The state of Alabama would be known as the best place to watch college football, something we all knew about already, now the nation can take a notice as well.

Secondly, College Football is what the state is know for nationally. Yeah we are known for it but most "experts" does not see Alabama as a top five state for college football. They see California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Ohio as places to watch the best collegiate football and most of those states only have one team. The reason Ohio is considered more than Alabama is because they have a consistent football team in Ohio State that constantly year in and year out win or contend for a Big Ten championship. And if Alabama only has one team every five or six year contend for an SEC Championship than we cant be put up there in regards of top states for college football.

Thirdly, Just think about the players that both teams would put in the NFL draft which in return would give the colleges better players and would make the football games more exciting to watch. The schools that produce the most NFL talent are from the Florida's, Texas', and Oklahoma's. The reason they are usually in the National Championship hunt. How would you like to see a graphic on ESPN and see that the state of Alabama produced the most NFL talent for that year. I think that would be pretty cool.

There are just a couple of reasons on why I think it would be good for the state of Alabama if Auburn was able to win the National Championship this year and either Alabama or Auburn were able to continue this success in the coming years. So what do you think, please leave a comment in the comment box.

  1. I feel ya dawg. Although I don't follow Alabama or Auburn, I still feel Alabama pride. It would definitely be awesome for the state. Not only back-to-back National Championships, but also back-to-back Heisman winners if Auburn wins out. Even if it wont count if four years after Cam is declared ineligible.
