Alabama and Auburn aren't the only winning teams in state; JSU, UAB, others vying for championships

Everyone knows about the success of Alabama and Auburn football.

The Crimson Tide is undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the latest College Football Playoffs rankings; the Tigers are on a roll after a huge win over Georgia, are ranked No. 6 in the CFP and have a huge showdown coming up against Alabama in the Iron Bowl.

But, did you know that there are other teams in the state of Alabama that are ranked nationally and vying for conference and national championships?

In every corner of the state--from Birmingham, where UAB's resurgence and impending bowl appearance has made national waves; to Livingston, where UWA continues a surprising tradition of fighting for conference championships and putting players into the NFL; and at campuses in between--football is healthy, thriving and exciting.
