What to expect from Alabama vs Auburn?

It is hard not to look ahead to March Madness. Both teams have safely qualified for the tournament, which begins on March 18. However, they still have a lot to play for. Seeding is important, and both teams will aim to solidify their positions.

For Auburn, the goal will be to hold on to the top spot. With a win, they will likely secure the No. 1 seed in the tournament. Meanwhile, Alabama could move up several spots with a victory but a loss to a top team like Auburn could significantly impact their ranking.
