With Selection Sunday just three weeks(!) out from this upcoming weekend, the selection committee will be unveiling the sixteen teams that make-up its current top-four - or protected - seed lines in advance of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s (16-9, 6-6 SEC; NET: 23; Kenpom: 19) meeting with the Kentucky Wildcats Saturday at noon. While the Tide is far from a lock to be included in that group again this year, Alabama has a shot at potentially cracking the top sixteen - but only if it can take care of business at home tonight against the Mississippi State Bulldogs (14-10, 5-6 SEC; NET: 50; Kenpom: 43).
