Projected seed: 2

Alabama has built a remarkable resume with notable wins and a strong offensive presence, highlighted by victories over teams like Houston and North Carolina. Despite suffering some challenging losses, including two to Auburn and a close defeat to Tennessee, their ability to compete in high-stakes games demonstrates resilience. The offensive firepower, bolstered by wins against competent squads like Kentucky and Texas A&M, provides a solid foundation for their tournament hopes. However, the glaring weakness lies in defense, with inconsistent performances—exemplified in losses against strong opponents like Missouri and Florida—raising concerns about their ability to advance in the tournament without improvement on that end. Upcoming matchups will be critical for solidifying their standing; positive results could bolster their momentum and seeding further.
