14. Melissa Joan Hart & Channing Tatum – Alabama

When you have claimed 16 national championships in football, you’re going to have a number of celebrity fans. I couldn’t settle on one so I went with Melissa Joan Hart who adopted the Crimson Tide at the urging of her husband, musician Mark Wilkerson.

She’s active on Twitter too, following numerous college football writers (present company excluded) and regularly tweets her thoughts on Alabama during games. I still hold out hope that Melissa will throw a follow to me and “explain it all” why she wasn’t following before I wrote about the former star of Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina The Teenage Witch.

Channing Tatum is a native of Cullman, Alabama and made it perfectly clear that he favors the Tide over rival Auburn in a GQ interview. That came to the delight of female Alabama fans who couldn’t possibly maintain their celebrity crush of the star of Magic Mike if he was a fan of that other team in the state.

If I’m College GameDay producer Lee Fitting, I can’t think of a better celebrity guest picker than Tatum when Alabama opens up the 2016 season against the USC Trojans.
