What would make Bama a Cinderella team to you?

For one, it wouldn't be a miracle. It would be improbable, but it wouldn't be a miracle.
We're a really good team - a Top 5/10 team according to human beings and computer metrics. There is nothing cinderella about a team that has performed at a Top 5/10 level for the entire season and then wins at a Top 5/10 level in the tournament.

No. A Cinderella team is a team that likely has the odds against them, but makes a run. Alabama is a top team, not a Cinderella.

Sure, maybe somebody will. I would say the consensus is that you were an SEC Champ and a 2 seed and should be expected to beat any lower seeds. Of course that shouldn't take anything away from a great season.

If you picked a bracket based purely on seeding, Alabama would be expected to go to the Elite Eight. In my opinion, a Cinderella is a team that no one should reasonably expect to get out of the opening weekend who makes it to the Elite Eight or beyond.

You could certainly say that 2020-2021 Alabama would be a Cinderella story if they win it all, given that they were not ranked at all in the AP pre-season poll and were ranked only 5th in the preseason SEC poll by the media.
But no, at this stage of the game, coming into the tournament, they aren't a Cinderella.

Oral is the only Cinderella team this year imo.
Loyola has been good and was underrated.
