Alabama baseball is coming off arguably its best week of the 2025 college baseball season to date.
The Crimson Tide jumped out to a big lead over a Top 25 Troy Trojans team on May 6 for a 10-2 win on the road and followed it up by taking two of three from a Georgia Bulldogs team that was ranked in the top five nationally, including No. 1 in Baseball America’s rankings.
Kade Snell, Justin Lebron, Bryce Fowler and Richie Bonomolo had big performances in helping the Crimson Tide quickly forget an ugly 19-3 loss on Friday and rally for a doubleheader sweep on Sunday.
Alabama, up four spots to No. 16 in this week’s USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, is now 39-13 overall and 15-12 in SEC play entering the final weekend of the regular season. The Crimson Tide also rose four spots in the RPI to No. 8 after beating Georgia and will face the Florida Gators beginning Thursday in Gainesville.
Here are the latest postseason projections for Alabama from Baseball America, D1 Baseball, On3 and others.
Alabama baseball NCAA Tournament projections: Will Crimson Tide host a regional?
Here’s where the major outlets see Alabama on the seed line for the 2025 NCAA Tournament entering the final weekend of SEC regular season play.
Baseball America: Alabama is No. 12 overall seed, hosting Wake Forest (34-18), UConn (33-19) and Fairfield (36-15) in Tuscaloosa Regional at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
D1 Baseball: Alabama is No. 14 overall seed, hosting Southern Miss (38-13), Arizona State (35-18) and Missouri State (27-22) in Tuscaloosa Regional.
USA TODAY Sports, The Tennessean: Alabama is No. 10 overall seed, hosting Clemson (38-15), Northeastern (41-9) and Wright State (32-17).
On3: Alabama is No. 11 overall seed, hosting West Virginia (40-10), East Tennessee State (37-13), and Austin Peay (40-12).
“Alabama’s series win over Georgia was massive for their hosting chances, and they slide into the top 16 as our No. 11 seed in this week’s Field of 64,” On3’s Jonathan Wagner said earlier this week. “The Crimson Tide are 39-13 overall, 15-12 in the SEC and No. 8 in RPI, with a 12-9 Q1 record. If they earn a series win over Florida to end the regular season, top eight becomes a strong possibility, and they’re already in the discussion.”
Baseball America moved Alabama back into its list of regional site hosts after the series win over Georgia, dropping West Virginia below the Crimson Tide on the seed line.
D1 Baseball also moved Alabama back in as a projected regional host with a top 25 Southern Miss team. The Golden Eagles are No. 30 in RPI and ranked No. 19 in the Coaches Poll.
The Tennessean’s Aria Gerson has Alabama just below Coastal Carolina and one spot ahead of the Oregon Ducks in her NCAA Tournament bracket predictions.
