As much as any FBS programs in the country, Alabama and Auburn have traditionally relied on homegrown prospects to lead their football teams. Over the past 25 seasons, 10 of the 15 players who have started more than one game at quarterback for the Crimson Tide were from Alabama high schools. Auburn has had five Alabama natives start at quarterback during the past 15 seasons. For a state with a much smaller population (4.8 million) than recruiting hotbeds like California, Texas, Florida and Ohio, Alabama has produced its share of great quarterbacks.

It has everything else — at least, everything else that counts from folks not getting a cut of the bowl money. The Cotton Bowl isn’t a BCS bowl. Yet. But it’s the closest thing to it. It has two top 10 teams. Two BCS bowls can’t say that. It’s played in an 80,000-seat, shiny new venue that’s widely considered the best football stadium in the country.
