Alabama just keeps winning. The Crimson Tide went 4-0 last week with four wins against in-state opponents, run-ruling South Alabama at home on Tuesday before traveling down to Auburn and sweeping the Tigers.

Both teams ahead of the Crimson Tide in the rankings, Oklahoma and Texas Tech, lost one game on the weekend, but the Sooners did win the road series at Texas. Alabama is inside the top three in all major polls (No. 2 by Softball America, D1 Softball, USA Softball Poll and No. 3 in the NFCA Coaches Poll.) The USA Softball Top 25 Poll is what is used by ESPN on the broadcasts.

Alabama is also receiving first-place votes in the polls. The Crimson Tide travels to Samford on Tuesday and will host last-place Kentucky for three games at Rhoads Stadium this weekend.
