5. University of Alabama Crimson Tide

The Crimson Tide is one of the most dominant teams in college football history. How about their golf squad?

Well, back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014 is a decent claim to fame, and they’ll look to build upon that this year. Despite missing out on nationals last year, they still have the experience and arguably the best head coach in all of college golf in Jay Seawell.

This is the same school that has produced up-and-coming talents like Justin Thomas and Trey Mullinax (pictured). This year’s team isn’t loaded, but last year’s team combined for an impressive total of 10 top five finishes.

Three of those top fives were wins, all by Robby Shelton. Shelton is no longer on the team, but with a winning coach such as Seawell, there’s no doubt that the Tide should make the cut and then some.
