NO LOVE FOR THE TIDE: (Jerry Palm)

Those who think Alabama is in good shape for an NCAA tournament berth with an 18-8 overall record and a 10-2 SEC mark will be sorely disappointed by the latest mock bracket from CBS Sports' Jerry Palm.
Palm does not have Alabama making the field in his latest bracket, compiled on Feb. 15, and doesn't even include the Tide in the first four teams left out. He has five SEC teams making the dance -- Florida, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, with the Gators seeded highest as a No. 4 seed.
The killer for Alabama is its RPI, which is 77th according to RealTimeRPI.com. The other five teams expected to make the tournament are all in the top 40.

Bama is a bubble team for sure due to their RPI and the utter shitpile that is the SEC West. If they finish fairly strong, they will get in. A couple of bad losses to close out the season and they will host an NIT game.

Not surprising, he's been saying this all year. I would assume that he still thinks Ole Miss is a better team since there a few spots higher RPI wise.

Who did they lose to?

is not good this year as the SEC is a very weak conference.
Alabama will not get in, unless they win the Tournament.....and they will not do that....

I think they have to win 1-2 games in the SEC tourney
What killed them is how god awful they were out of conference
I haven't been paying any attention to Tennessee but I'm surprised they are a lock... thought they had been playing poorly
