It's 2016, and in case you've been living under a rock for the first 60 days of the new year, it's also a leap year.

From the sports of football, gymnastics, women's golf, and softball, those years that are evenly divisible by four seem to be really good to the Crimson Tide. We've already seen a national championship game victory from the Tide football team this year, could we see more in the final 306 days?

Since we can't see into the future, let's just look back into the past and figure out which leap year-national championship is the greatest in Alabama Athletics history.
