Where Alabama Softball Ranks after Week 7

Alabama picked up its third straight SEC series win over the weekend by winning two of three games in Columbia, Missouri against the Mizzou Tigers. The loss on Saturday gave Missouri its first SEC win of the season, but the Crimson Tide bounced back on Sunday with a 4-3 victory.

The Crimson Tide is now 29-2 (7-2 SEC) on the season, and the team is still ranked in the top 10 despite the loss to the Tigers. Alabama is ranked No. 7 by USA Softball and No. 6 in the other three major polls (NFCA Coaches poll, Softball America and D1Softball.)

With Tennessee losing twice over the weekend, there's a new No. 1 in the rankings: the Texas Longhorns. Alabama will host Texas at Rhoads Stadium for a three-game series starting on April 2.
