Jim Dunaway, radio and TV personality in Birmingham, has a bet with LT, on the same sports radio show, that South Carolina will not make the NCAA tourney.
I think Jim's way off, but I do feel SC is slipping.

Whats bamas remaining schedule look like? They could easily make a push for the tourney at the end. They could end up with a top 40 rpi

Best realistic case is to win our winnable home games :
Missouri
Arkansas
Auburn
Mississippi State
Win two of
@LSU
@Kentucky
@Georgia
@Florida
Vs Texas A&M
That works make us 9-9 in league with an RPI of 45 or so.
Not sure we can do that, but is not a crazy scenario.

The SEC is remarkably bad this year
Posted on 2/2/16 at 11:15 pm to Dustin Johnson
That is said every year. They can still get 5 teams in the tourney maybe 6 which isn't bad at all

RPI isn't everything.
9-9 in conference for Alabama probably wouldn't be enough. And a 6-3 conference finish is a stretch.

You're all welcome for redeeming the conference vs the big 12-1-1-2+1+1

RPI isn't everything but plenty of teams with an 18-12 record with quality wins over the likes of Notre Dame, Texas A&M (assuming we win), Wichita State, Clemson, South Carolina, and one of the following (@LSU/@Kentucky/@Georgia/@Florida) have gotten in the dance. Especially those with only 1 bad loss (@Auburn). I think Alabama goes if they win out at home and steal one more road game to get to .500 in the league and 18.

RPIforecast projects that a 18-12 (9-9) team would have an RPI of 53. That team wouldn't make the tourney.
And a 16-14 finish is more likely with all of those tough road games anyways. That team would have an RPI of 79 and would be an NIT bubble.
So it would pretty much take a near miracle for Bama to make the tourney. Both Georgia and Arkansas are in better shape with their remaining schedules imo.

"That team wouldn't make the tourney"
Teams with strong non conference RPIs that finish .500 in their conference routinely make the NCAA tournament.

If yall's RPI isn't in the 40's and you only go 9-9 in conference, I don't see yall in the tournament. That's just my opinion though.

Our only top 50 win is no longer in the top 50.
NIT here we come.

Id give Bama about 30% chance of pulling that off. Will be tough with the injuries and frankly lack of developed players.

At this point aiming for the NIT might be better for the Tide then the NCAAT. I don't think this Bama team could make a deep run in the Big Dance, but they could do some damage in the NIT.

Disagree. We'd have 4 Top 50 wins and probably 8-9 Top 100 wins with only 1 bad loss. We'd firmly check off all the criteria except for "do they have NBA players on the team".

The only stretch is winning one of the difficult games I noted. We play 4 games we should win at home. We have to win 2 of @LSU, @UK, @UGA, @UF, A&M. Won't be easy, but far from impossible.

We'd need to win at least 2 SECT games and 1 would probably need to be against South Carolina/Texas A&M/LSU. If we finish at 20-13 with 5 Top 50 wins, 9 Top 100 wins and only a couple of 100+ losses with an RPI right inside 50 we are squarely in the mix.
Not probable, but also not a pipe dream. We will probably lose a home game to Auburn/Arkansas or something anyway, because we are banged up and not that good, but the fact that it won't take us sweeping road games at FLA/LSU/UK to have a shot is pretty remarkable.
