TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The University of Alabama women's team remains third while the men's team is 10th in this week's edition of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I Team Computer Rankings released Monday. The Crimson Tide women won the team title last Friday at the Crimson Classic in Tuscaloosa, their third team victory in four meets this season. The men's team has won the team title in two races this season, but finished ninth in a field of more than 30 teams at the Crimson Classic last week.
Alabama is entering the championship portion of its season and will host the 2014 SEC Championships next Friday morning, October 31, at the Harry Pritchett Running Park in Tuscaloosa.
The USTFCCCA team rankings are compiled by mathematical formulae based on national descending order lists and data taken from previous seasons. For the preseason ranking and early-season rankings, data will be taken from previous seasons as well as the current season. The purpose and methodology of the rankings is to create an index that showcases the teams that have the best potential of achieving the top spots in the national team race. Rankings points do not equate with NCAA Championships team points.
