Could March Madness No. 1 seed be on the line for Alabama basketball vs Florida?
A spot in the SEC Tournament championship game may not be the only thing on the line between Alabama basketball and Florida on Saturday afternoon in Nashville.

According to his latest bracketology report, Lunardi has Florida as the fourth and final one-seed, and Alabama as the first two-seed.
