Alabama will lose at least one game due to a brutal road schedule at Tennessee and LSU

The other top three teams in the SEC are LSU, Tennessee, and Ole Miss, and they play each of those three on the road. So it's a brutal schedule for Alabama... I'm going to say the two toughest ones are Tennessee because Tennessee is on the road... and then, of course, the LSU game.

Alabama went undefeated in the 2016 regular season, including wins over Tennessee and LSU on the road. They only lost the National Championship game.

Whether Florida wins the title or performs as an elite team will be decided by the end of March Madness.
