Projected seed: 4
Alabama’s profile is built around an explosive offense and a string of eye-catching nonconference results, with a neutral-site victory over Illinois and a gritty road win at St. John’s plus dominant neutral performances against UNLV and Maryland that show their ceiling; those signature moments are balanced by neutral losses to Purdue and Gonzaga that highlight defensive inconsistency and leave the resume vulnerable. The remaining schedule will be decisive because it features multiple true road tests at places like Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Florida and Tennessee and a marquee neutral matchup with Arizona, so committee judgment will come down to how well the defense steadies and whether the team can turn those away and neutral opportunities into quality wins away from home.
