🏀 📈 Bracketology 2026 - A quick from the distance: 1/27 (+ current SEC standings.)

What am I missing? Why would we want to be at the bottom of the bracket or shy away from Florida? Maybe they are great but if you are going to take the next steps Bama has to up their game. I think Bediako will eventually turn out to be a difference maker. I certainly hope so.

While I agree, March Madness is all about which team can get hot and matchups. Alabama - even with Bediako - is likely not going to take the next step this year. Oats is going to have to do better in the portal next offseason. Especially if he wants the defense to perform better to go with an elite offense.

Florida is a bad matchup for Alabama. Golden has displayed that in four straight games. They are bigger and more physical inside, and Golden is one of the best at capitalizing on matchups. Would honestly rather be in Vandy's bracket. Alabama was very much in that game until Philon went out.

I want no part of Florida. I'd gladly sit at the bottom of this projected bracket.

Me too
