The regular season has come to an end in college softball, and Alabama's season didn't conclude the way it wanted.

After run-ruling South Carolina in the opening game of the series, the Crimson Tide dropped the next two games that were both weather-affected to lose the series.

Because of that, Alabama dropped down two spots to No. 16 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 Poll heading into the conference tournament.

Alabama opens play at the 2025 SEC Tournament on Tuesday evening against Auburn in Athens, Georiga. The Crimson Tide has wins against three of the top-four teams in this week's poll. Alabama has a lot of quality wins overall on the season, but because of the number of losses, a win or two in Athens would go a long way in securing a spot as a regional host.

Here is this week's full top-25 poll:
