8th depending on the poll. There's a couple, maybe three, that get published. ESPN uses their own, the NCAA uses the USA Today/NFCA Coaches Poll, and then there's the College RPI poll. (There's likely a couple of more.) As of the 14th of this month the NCAA/USA poll had the Tide at 11.

I don't pay a great deal of attention to the polls in softball or baseball. It's the RPI that carries a lot of weight when it comes to hosting regionals and supers (though the polls do carry some weight as well.)
