In the 2014 season, Alabama was one of the four best teams in the country. They made the inaugural College Football Playoff, and lost to the team that would go on to be the National Champion. Even so, last year’s Alabama team was one of the least successful Crimson Tide squads of the last decade.

The college football season is upon us, and it’s never too early to start the Heisman watch. Every performance from all of the top players will be scrutinized from here on out by fans and media alike as they try to predict and later vote on who will win college football’s most prestigious award.
