Top 10 college football teams with the biggest home-field advantages
2. Alabama
In the 150 years, college football has been around, Alabama has undoubtedly been one of the elites. Their 15 national championships are tied for second only to Yale whose last championship came in 1927, and spans from 1925-2017. That is the picture of dominance over a long period of time in sports.
Naturally, success at that level is going to breed a crazy fanbase, one that creates an unforgettable atmosphere inside the confines of Bryant-Denny Stadium. Of course, as the money has rolled in with championship after championship, the renovations of the stadium just keep going. Today the capacity is 101,821 and has continued to help the Crimson Tide continue to be the cream of the crop in college football.
They are second in the last decade in winning percentage at home with a 65-5 record. Like many on this list, they aren’t just great at home as they have won four national titles in the last 10 years and have only missed out on the college football playoff once since its berth in 2015.
A resume like that is enough to create a frenzy-like attitude in Tuscaloosa on Saturdays. With no major sports in the state, Alabama football is everything to the local people and they make that well-known every time the Crimson Tide are in town. Don’t expect that to change.
