Alabama softball picked up an impressive win at No. 5 Texas A&M last weekend, but ultimately lost the series and went 1-3 on the week with a Wednesday home loss to No. 8 Florida State.

The Crimson Tide has been in almost every game it has played during its tough schedule, but has struggled to come up with wins in key moments and now has 12 losses on the season.

Alabama is holding on inside the top-25 of the USA Softball rankings at No. 25, but has dropped out of the polls by D1 Softball, Softball America and the NFCA Coaches.

The team will have an opportunity to pick up a win in the midweek at North Alabama on Wednesday before returning home to host No. 17 Georgia this weekend.

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