Joe Lunardi, the guy who does bracketology on espn.com shares his thoughts on the SEC and how he seeded them this week. Link Below
"Alabama (No. 10 seed, S-Curve No. 36): The Crimson Tide should be a No. 9 seed in this week's bracket, but that would have slotted them against Notre Dame in the first round (repeating a regular-season matchup). Then again, 'Bama should be happy to be in the bracket at all after laying yet another egg on the road at Auburn on Tuesday. But we can't completely ignore a team which went 13-1 against the No. 16 nonconference schedule and is, however inexplicably, No. 12 in the latest ESPN coaches' poll."
