The Crimson Tide still boast the No. 1 player in the Golfweek rankings, senior Trey Mullinax. Also in the top-10 of the rankings, No. 3 freshman Robby Shelton and No. 10 senior Bobby Wyatt.
California, Oklahoma State and Stanford are all coming off victories in the last two weeks and look to continue their winning streaks in Nevada.
