How do you become an NFL player?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Go through college and make the NFL draft Yeah, but that is kind of general. You need to make a good name for yourself in high school, get scouted and get a scholarship to a good football college. From there, go a couple of years, and maybe you can get scouted and make the NFL draft before 4 years. If you are good enough to get a scholarship for football in high school, you should improve enough to get drafted to the NFL in 4 years.

What year did Alabama have back to back national champions and Heisman Trophy winners?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Only one time has this happened. In 2009, the Alabama Crimson Tide defeated Texas in the BCS National Championship game with their Heisman winner Mark Ingram. In 2010, the Auburn Tigers defeated Oregon on a last second field goal. Auburn's quarterback Cam Newton, won the Heisman that year. So only the state of Alabama has ever been able to win both the Heisman and national championship back to back. TCU and Texas A&M won the National Championship back to back years in 1938 and 1939 respectively. TCU's Davey O'Brien won the Heisman in 1938, but Texas A&M failed have a Heisman winner that next year.

Which college football coach has won the most BCS National Championships?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fielding H. Yost and Bear Bryant have 6 National Championships each:

Fielding H. Yost: 6 National Championships with Michigan: 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923.

Bear Bryant: 6 National Championships at Alabama: 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979.

All of Yost's national championships were before the AP era. And they were all awarded retroactively, by voters that never actually saw any of the games in those years. In order to get to 6, you have to count every minor poll that has ever existed. Most people have never even heard of the organizations that awarded Michigan those national championships. The organizations who (retroactively) awarded national championships to Michigan and Yost in those years were: the Billingsley Report, the Houlgate System, the National Championship Foundation, the Helms Athletic Foundation, and Parke H. Davis

Also, if you're going to count every time any organization awarded a national championship, Bryant has more than 6.

1950 (he coached Kentucky that year) Only the Sagarin system chose Kentucky, and it was retroactive.

1961 (14 polls, including the AP and UPI, the two most respected of that time)

1964 (4 polls, including AP and UPI)

1965 (4, including AP and FWAA)

1966 (2, Sagarin and Berrryman

1973 (2, including UPI)

1975 (Matthews Grid Ratings)

1977 (just the CFRA, and retroactive)

1978 (7, including AP, NWAA, and NFF)

1979 (17, all of the polls that were active at that time except the CFRA)

That's a total of ten (10) national championships for the Bear, if you count every poll, system, or computer, including the retroactive ones. To get to 6, you have to limit Bryant's championships to only those awarded by major polls (AP, UPI). But if you do that, Yost has none.

The first author *is* correct The "Helms Athletic Foundations" retroactive poll results are officially recognized by the N.C.A.A. for the years 1883-1935 as are the Dickerson System from 1924 to 1940. And while an excellent argument can be made that Bryant's 1950 Kentucky team *should* have been crowned as "National Champions", the rule of that time was that the final polling was taken before bowl games which while ethically incorrect, it was the rule at the time. And we all know that even with the addition of the AP poll in 1936, several of the "official" polls have given the Championship to the wrong team.

What was before the BCS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The BCS began in 1998. It replaced the Bowl Alliance, which had attempted to match up the top two teams during the seasons from 1995-1997. Prior to that, the Bowl Coalition was used from 1992-1994.

Before 1992, there was no system in place to ensure that #1 would play #2 in a bowl, and in fact such matchups rarely happened.
