Automatic – Alabama Crimson Tide

Tell-Tale Lyric: When it comes to you I’m automatic baby
There’s no one else like me
I’m the best you’ll ever find

One of Prince’s earliest hits, Automatic, was also one of his earliest pseudo-sexual chart-toppers. Everything in the steamy relationship is automatic, wrong, or right.

So to it seems with Alabama.

Bring in the best recruiting class? A-U-T-O-matic
Make the Iron Bowl a game for the ages? A-U-T-O-matic
Someone in the Heisman race? A-U-T-O-matic
Win the SEC? A-U-T-O-matic
Go to the playoffs? A-U-T-O-matic
Win a championship? A-U-T-O-matic

Ok, maybe it’s not quite that simple, but it certainly seems that way since Nick Saban took over in Tuscaloosa nearly a decade ago. But Alabama’s A-U-T-O-matic high preseason rankings are already in, and they’re primed for yet another title run.

Hate for the Crimson Tide outside of Bryant-Denny Stadium? A-U-T-O-matic
