Alabama Softball Stays Strong at No. 2 in Polls

The Crimson Tide is one of the four undefeated teams in college softball at the top of the rankings.

There are just four undefeated teams left in college softball, and one of them is the Alabama Crimson Tide. Team 26 was a perfect 6-0 in game over a four-day stretch down in Louisiana over the long weekend. 

The Crimson Tide picked up another pair of top-25 wins over then No. 20 Louisiana and now sit at 15-0. Alabama is ranked No. 2 in all major polls behind the defending national champions Oklahoma at No. 1. The other undefeated teams are No. 3 Florida State and No. 4 Florida. Until any of the four teams loses, the rankings are unlikely to change.
