Previous beats include the University of Alabama, the Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the National Football League, and in baseball the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has also authored 24 books, including: "Sweet 16: Alabama's Historic 2015 Championship Season"; "Nick Saban vs. College Football," 2014; "Who's No. 1? 100-Plus Years of Controversial Champions in College Football," 2007. "Where Football is King: A History of the SEC," 2006. "Crimson Storm Surge: Alabama Football, Then and Now," 2005. There's nothing quite as controversial in American sports as college football's national championship, making it common fodder for talk around the water cooler as well as loftier debates among professional journalists in the sports pages. Walsh takes a comprehensive view of over a century of controversy, breaking teams down into one of three categories: perennial powers, contenders, and former greats.
