SEC schools, including Alabama under the best college football, basketball coach Tandems

With March Madness on us, people at CBS Sports broke out a list of schools with the best college football and basketball coaches Tandems.

It is a list, frankly tailor -made for the Sec. Traditionally, a strong football conference received a record -14 team in this year's NCAA tournament.

In the 2025 NCAA tournament, however, it is Kansas who takes first place on the top 10 list with football coach Lance Leipold and basketball coach Bill Self for the second time in a row.

As CBS Sports emphasizes, the Jayhawks are “just at the top, but the race is closer than ever.”

This is because the basketball coach Nate Oats and the football coach Kalen Deboer, basketball coach Nate Oats and the football coach Kalen Deboer, switched to number 3 on the list a year ago.

According to the report:

“Hafer continues to increase its stock as one of the best coaches in College basketball after led the Crimson Tide to the first four in the program history,” writes CBS Sports. “In six years he has two regular season titles in the SEC season, two SEC tournament and five NCAA tournament in a row. Deboer's first season in Alabama had ups and downs, but still ended on the edge of the extended college football playoff. It was nominal the worst season of his coaching career with a 9:4 record, but that says more about his famous coaching career. This combination is on the way up. “

The only other SEC school that creates the list is Tennessee with the combination of Josh Heupel/Rick Barnes, who comes in 7th place a year ago after the debut.
