So if a miracle happens and Bama wins it all we wouldn't be considered a Cinderella team?

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.
