Despite falling in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, Alabama was ranked in the top four in the USA Today Coaches poll released on Tuesday.
UConn was ranked No. 1 after it defeated San Diego State 76-59 in the national championship game. The Aztecs were ranked No. 2, followed by Miami at No. 3 and then the Crimson Tide at No. 4.
As it has done for most of the season, Alabama finished the 2022 campaign as the highest-ranked SEC team as it was joined by No. 16 Tennessee, No. 21 Arkansas and No. 25 Texas A&M.
The final coaches poll ranking is the highest mark in program history. The previous record was when Alabama was ranked No. 5 at the end of the 1956 and 2021 seasons.
