Roll Tide is a popular phrase associated with Alabama and is one of the most well-known monikers in college sports. Where exactly the phrase Roll Tide first began is a bit of a mystery, however. Multiple accounts stretch back over a century to when Alabama started to be called the Crimson Tide.

The Crimson Tide has the No. 2 composite class in the country according to 247Sports behind Ohio State, with five-star commitments from quarterback Keelon Russell, offensive tackle Ty Haywood, wide receiver Caleb Cunningham, cornerback Dijon Lee and running back Akylin Dear.

Alabama football made a statement in its Week 3 road win against Wisconsin, beating the Badgers 42-10 at Camp Randall Stadium. But it was not enough of a statement to move the Crimson Tide up in the latest set of college football rankings.
