The ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022 will be revealed at 10 a.m. CDT Wednesday, the National Football Foundation and the College Football Hall of Fame announced last week. The NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision portion of the 2022 ballot includes 78 players. Will any from Alabama be on it? There are plenty of choices to join the 20 former Crimson Tide stars already in the College Football Hall of Fame. Thirty-five Alabama players are eligible for the ballot for the Class of 2022. That doesn’t include 59 Crimson Tide alumni who meet the first standard for consideration for the College Football Hall of Fame but aren’t in the current eligibility window. That’s 94 players from Alabama with the possibility of becoming Hall of Famers. To be considered for the College Football Hall of Fame today, a player must have been a first-team All-American selection by one of the organizations that the NCAA uses to compile its annual consensus All-American team. Currently, those organizations are the American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of American, Sporting News and Walter Camp Football Foundation. But the selectors used by the NCAA have varied over the years, ranging from a low of two to a high of 10. Those players still can be considered for the College Football Hall of Fame, but their qualifications are examined by the Football Bowl Subdivision Honors Review Committee, bypassing the ballot.. Alabama also has a former unanimous All-American who can enter the College Hall of Fame only through the veterans committee – tackle Cecil Dowdy. A unanimous All-American is a player who was a first-team selection for all the organizations used by the NCAA to compile the consensus All-American team for that season. A consensus All-American usually is a player who was a first-team selection for at least half of the organizations used by the NCAA to compile the consensus All-American team. It’s possible to become a consensus All-American without reaching the halfway mark, and it’s also possible, though rare, not to be a consensus All-American even while making at least half of the first teams. For consideration for the College Football Hall of Fame, players don’t have to be consensus All-Americans – just first-teamers for the right selector.
