Jets OL James Carpenter won a national championship in 2009 with the Alabama Crimson Tide. Carp helped pave the way for 205 rush yards as ‘Bama topped Texas, 37-21, at the Rose Bowl. This was before the college football playoff existed.
JC: “It was an amazing feeling when we won. I think Alabama is the top team again, and I don’t think they are going to be stopped this year. They are looking really good and are probably one of the best Alabama teams I’ve ever seen. I feel like college football needed the playoff so they can get everything right.
