Alabama drops out of AP Top 25 following rough last week of regular season

The Crimson Tide could have ended the regular season on a better note, however, it wasn’t in the cards as Alabama dropped both of last week’s games against Texas A&M and the LSU Tigers.

The Southeastern Conference Tournament officially begins on Wednesday when the first slate of first-round games takes place between Ole Miss and Missouri in Game 1 and Georgia and Vanderbilt in Game 2. The winner of the latter will take on the Tide on Thursday evening.

The AP Poll was updated today, and unfortunately, as expected, Alabama wasn’t included within the rankings. They did, however, receive votes in the poll.
