Football is king at the University of Alabama, and that proved true again in the 2015-16 school year. The Crimson Tide won yet another national championship on the football field, so it's only fitting that the football program would also rank No. 1 among all UA athletic teams.
The Tuscaloosa News' annual ranking once again finds football on top as determined by a vote of the sports department staff, which ranked Alabama's 19 athletic teams against each other to determine which had the best (and worst) seasons. The football team won not only the national title, but also the SEC championship, and was a unanimous top pick.
