Alabama players use championship rings to troll UCF
Alabama's football team was presented with its 2017 national championship rings at the program's annual "Steak and Beans Dinner" on Monday night.
These monster rings have more than 150 stones - including 53 on the bottom bezel to represent the number of wins by the senior class - with the 26-23 winning score over Georgia in the national championship game on one side and the Sugar Bowl's 24-6 winning score against Clemson on the inside. Each individual's last name is on one side of the ring while Roll Tide and "Outwork Yesterday" - the 2017 team's motto - is on the other.
But perhaps most interestingly, there are two College Football Playoff National Championship trophies on the front of the rings behind the Alabama "A" to represent both the 2017 and 2015 national titles.
While Alabama is the rightful national champion - following its crazy comeback win over the Bulldogs in January - nothing has stopped the University of Central Florida from calling itself the real national champion and celebrating accordingly.
If you recall, the Knights declared themselves national champions after being the only undefeated team last season, finishing with a perfect 13-0 record. Additionally, since they beat Auburn - which also beat both Alabama and Georgia - they're taking some liberties with the transitive property and calling themselves champs.
And they raised a title banner and dished out championship rings too.
Validity of UCF's claim aside, there's no denying both championship rings are glitzy pieces of hardware to commemorate two totally different achievements.
While Bama lacks UCF's undefeated record, its accolades are abundant, making their rings more about perennial dominance than a single accomplishment. In that sense, the championship ring advantage belongs to the Crimson Tide.
However, UCF's rings have a tiny edge over Alabama's in terms of timelessness. The Knights don't have a national championship trophy on theirs - because they didn't win one - while Alabama has two. The slight problem with that is the championship trophy has the potential to change, so years from now, the two trophies engraved on the Crimson Tide's rings might not exist.
But overall, nothing beats powerhouse theme to Alabama's rings, and knowing that, its players used their rings to troll UCF.
