Alabama falls, but remains inside top 25 in latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

Alabama baseball is 17-4 and just barely inside the top 25 in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Alabama baseball opened the season strong and is still considered a top-25 team in the nation, but has fallen in recent weeks.

In the last USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, Alabama fell a few spots after losing two of three to Columbia. Now, the Crimson Tide dropped another three spots after only winning one contest of the three-game series against a top-five Florida team.
