Where is Alabama baseball in polls after upsetting Georgia? What damage did Bulldogs take?
Alabama baseball beat out the flood this weekend and received a boost in the polls as a reward.
After a down pouring of runs against Georgia in the opener on Friday and the monsoons that ensued, the Crimson Tide clinched its last home SEC series of the regular season against the Bulldogs, who dropped two spots to No. 8 in the latest Coaches Poll with their first series loss to Alabama since 2015.
Going 2-1 on the weekend, Alabama moved from No. 20 to No. 16 in the country, which plays in favor of the program’s hopes to get back in Sewell-Thomas Stadium during the NCAA Tournament.
Before the regular season comes to a close, Alabama has to make the trip to Florida, and the Gators will be coming in hot after moving up 11 spots into the poll at No. 21 after taking the weekend series against No. 1-turned-No. 3 Texas.
In other polls, Alabama is ranked No. 18 by D1Baseball and moved from No. 12 to No. 8 in RPI.
Here’s a look at how the Top 25 stacks up as of Monday.

Most unique experience in Georgia
The Georgia spot highlighted was the World of Quercus. Here’s what writer Lydia Mansel said about it:
“The 3,800-acre property, dotted with pecan groves and cabins, isn’t your run-of-the-mill retreat. Guests are encouraged to roam the land by golf cart or on foot, visit the biodynamic vegetable garden, fish the Flint River, and connect with the ranch’s horses. Owned by Chiara Visconti di Modrone and her husband Angelos Pervanas, Quercus is a place where relaxation comes in many forms—and you can design your experience to fit your pace and preferences.”
Where is Quercus?
Quercus is in Gay at 208 Caldwell St. It’s about 30 miles east of LaGrange and over 50 miles south of Atlanta.
How much is Quercus per night?
