The Alabama baseball team had a good weekend in College Station, Texas, sweeping then-No. 19 Texas A&M and knocking D1Baseball's preseason No. 1 team all the way out of the rankings.

Rob Vaughn's squad, which entered the weekend matchup at No. 17, got a five-spot bump and will enter this weekend's massive home series against Tennessee as the No. 12-ranked team in the nation. It will be one of the biggest three-game sets at Sewell-Thomas Stadium since the renovated venue's reopening in 2016.

Alabama is 20-1 overall, 3-0 in the conference, and faces a Volunteer team which jumped from No. 2 to No. 1. Tennessee won the national championship last season, and the Crimson Tide was the only team to take a conference series against that group, winning the Saturday and Sunday games of a true weekend set; this season's series will be played from Thursday to Saturday.

Tony Vitello's team is still perfect at 20-0 after taking on and defeating then-No. 7 Florida last weekend in its first series of league play. Alabama and Tennessee did not play each other in a regular season series during Alabama's super-regional year in 2023; the Volunteers won the 2022 series two games to one in Knoxville.
