Two weeks after Alabama baseball rose to No. 8 in the nation in all the major Top 25 polls and rankings, the Crimson Tide are skidding a bit in the hyper competitive SEC.
After suffering back-to-back series losses -- first to Auburn and then to unranked Mississippi State over the weekend -- Alabama (29-8 overall, 8-7 SEC) tumbled in Monday's new Top 25 polls and rankings.
Rob Vaughn's team went 2-2 last week and fell seven spots to No. 21 in Baseball America's new Top 25 rankings. The Crimson Tide also fell seven spots to No. 20 in Perfect Game's Top 25.
Baseball America said of Alabama:
Both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and D1 Baseball kept Alabama in the top 15 at No. 15. The Tide fell five spots in the Coaches Poll and are ranked one spot below UC Irvine (25-8) and one spot ahead of the Oklahoma Sooners (25-10).
For the second straight week, there's a new team in the top spot across the Top 25 rankings. The Texas Longhorns (29-5 overall, 13-2 SEC) climbed to No. 1 after taking two of three from Kentucky in Lexington. The Horns jumped the Arkansas Razorbacks (32-5), who dropped two of three to the Georgia Bulldogs (32-6) over the weekend in Athens. UGA is ranked No. 3 by Baseball America and Perfect Game.
Arkansas fell to No. 2 in the Coaches Poll and D1 Baseball rankings, and to No. 4 in Perfect Game and Baseball America.
The Crimson Tide welcome UAB (19-17) to Sewell-Thomas Stadium in midweek play Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT. The game can be streamed via SEC Network+.
Alabama returns to SEC play Thursday when they travel to Baton Rouge to face the No. 7 LSU Tigers (31-6, 10-5) at 7 p.m. Thursday's series opener will be televised on ESPNU, while Saturday's finale can be seen on SEC Network. LSU was swept by Auburn (26-10) over the weekend at Plainsman Park.

Baseball America said of Alabama:
"Alabama’s bats were held in check for the vast majority of the weekend, but the biggest positive was fireballer Riley Quick’s start in which he collected seven strikeouts and allowed just one run in 5.1 innings."
