We're now only one day away from Selection Sunday, and the Tide is considered a lock by virtually every bracket expert out there. This has been probably the most roller coaster season in memory for this program, but Alabama fans should take a moment today or tomorrow if they haven't already and let this sink in: the Alabama Crimson Tide will be back in March Madness next week, and regardless of where we're seeded that's a real, real good feeling. Roll Tide to that.
Below we'll take a very brief look at where Bama stands today according to the experts, and tomorrow morning we'll have a full-blown analysis as well as an examination of potential opponents the Tide could face.
Latest RPI rankings
- Alabama is currently ranked 34th in the RPI
- Bama's RPI strength of schedule is ranked 29th toughest in the nation
Latest bracket projections
- As of last night's update, ESPN's Joe Lunardi has the Tide as a #9 seed in his latest bracketology projection.
- As of today's update, CBS's Jerry Palm had the Tide as a #9 seed in his latest bracketology projection.
- As of today's update, SI's Andy Glockner had the Tide as a #9 seed in his latest bracketology projection.
We've been following these three bracketologists all season, and for the first time ever, they're all in agreement: Alabama stands at a 9 seed right now. That is unlikely to change much between now and tomorrow because there simply aren't many teams around Alabama still playing this weekend. Again, we'll have full-blown coverage ready to go tomorrow morning. Selection Sunday is now mere hours away. Roll Tide.
