[FONT=&quot]5. Jeremy Pruitt, Alabama-br/rbr[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The 2013 campaign marked Pruitt's first season as a coordinator at an FBS program. All he did was guide Florida State to No. 1 rankings in S&P+ and scoring defense, and a third-best clip for yards. Then in 2014 and 2015, Pruitt helped Georgia record top-20 S&P+ marks.[/FONT]

rbr op[FONT=&quot]More offseason power rankings. This time, its a ranking of the best defensive coordinators in college football. It's quite interesting that Pruitt is so high on the list already. He did a great job with Alabama's secondary, and then showed tangible improvements at both Florida State and Georgia. Though he'll be a change from the Kirby Smart defense we've become accustomed to seeing, the change might be just the spark needed to keep the Alabama engine from going stale.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]College football: Council adjusts bowl selection process | NCAA.com/rbr[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The Division I Council solidified the process for placing eligible teams into bowl games for the 2016-17 season during its Wednesday meeting in Indianapolis.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Council determined that all bowl-eligible teams with 6-6 records must be selected for a bowl game before any teams with a 5-7 record can be considered. After all bowl-eligible teams are selected, the 5-7 teams – which will be considered alternates – will be deemed eligible in descending order from the highest multiyear Academic Progress Rate in the Football Bowl Subdivision for the most recent reporting year.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Those teams will then select the bowl in which they will participate.[/FONT]

rbr op[FONT=&quot]Please insert your arguments below concerning the matter of "too-many-bowl-games."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]While the rule change could be huge for many programs across the nation, we obviously won't have to ever even think about it here at Alabama. Roll Tide.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Ranking the country's 5 different kinds of college football recruiting states - SBNation.com/rbr[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]T

he Crimson Tide roster currently lists 37 players from Alabama. That's about all one needs to know about the underappreciated quality of high school football in the state, right? I'm surprised to see Tennessee higher than Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The latter are two of the Big Ten's most prized recruiting areas, while the Volunteer State's weird geography and lack of talent are often talked about as major hindrances for the Vols. Everything's relative, though.

rbr op[FONT=&quot]The college football recruiting hub for SBNation put together a pretty cool article breaking down the blue-chip stats of every state, and then ranking them into tiers. The state of Alabama is 7th overall on the list, behind Florida, Texas, California, Georgia, Ohio, and Louisiana.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When you look at those top seven states, notice that Tuscaloosa, AL, is right in the middle of a compact geographical region containing Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana. Just another cog in system for what has become the best college football program in the nation.[/FONT]
