I only put Alabama players on the list and I redone two coaches.
2 from Alabama, 2 from Auburn on College Football Hall of Fame ballot
Barrett Jones, Alabama, offensive lineman, 2009-12: Jones spent his first two seasons mainly as the Crimson Tideās right guard. After breaking in with a national-title team in 2009, Jones was an All-SEC guard in 2010. The next season, he moved to left offensive tackle. Alabama won the BCS crown again, and Jones added to his accolades by receiving the Outland Trophy, which is presented annually to the nationās best interior lineman. The Tide repeated as the national champ in the 2012 season with Jones in a new position. At center, he became the third Alabama player to earn consensus All-American honors twice. Jones also won the Rimington Trophy, which is presented annually to the nationās best center.
DeMeco Ryans, Alabama, linebacker, 2002-05: A Bessemer prep star, Ryans capped his four seasons with the Crimson Tide as the winner of the SEC Defensive Player of the Year Award and the Lott IMPACT Trophy, which is presented annually to college footballās top defensive player for his athletic ability and personal character. Ryans was a unanimous All-American selection in 2005.
Coaches List:

The Class of 2027 is the first to be considered with the minimum winning percentage for eligible coaches at .595. It had been .600. The change made Leach and Sherrill eligible for consideration. Sherrill has a career winning percentage of .599, and Leach is at .598.
Leach compiled a 158-106 record in 21 seasons as a head coach, including three in the SEC. At his last stop as a head coach, Leach had a 19-16 record with Mississippi State when he died on Dec. 12, 2022.
