2025 Women's College World Series Odds: Ranking the betting favorites to win NCAA Softball Tournament

After beginning with 64, the NCAA Softball Tournament is down to eight teams. Oklahoma City now takes center stage for the Women’s College World Series, just a few games away from crowning a 2025 national champion.

Thursday afternoon is when action will begin from Devon Park. Before then, FanDuel has released odds on who will ultimately emerge as the last team standings.

Not much shock is there with the overall favorite, considering the last four events have resulted in them winning. You can check out the full odds list here, beginning with a run of teams from the SEC.

Oklahoma Sooners (-145)

There were questions about Oklahoma entering the SEC despite four consecutive national championships. Patty Gasso’s team has done nothing but respond with a conference regular season title and winning the SEC Tournament, even if it was via a rainout.

Now, the Sooners are the clear-cut favorite to once again win in Oklahoma City. Some great dynasties have emerged over the years in college athletics but few would compare to OU’s five straight.

Texas Longhorns (+430)

Two of the last three seasons have resulted in Texas finishing runner-up. Losing to its Red River rival on both occasions only makes the matter even more heartbreaking, still seeking a first national championship.

Advancing to the championship series is going to be quite the difficult task this go-round. Oddsmakers give Texas the second-best chance but by a wide margin.

Florida Gators (+650)

Florida is the No. 3 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and finds itself in a similar position in the Women’s College World Series, from an odds perspective. Two other teams are ranked ahead of them and are even in the same bracket.

The national championship drought has officially reached a decade, last winning in 2015. Florida can cap off what has been a great year for the athletic department with a softball title.

Tennessee Volunteers (+1200)

Tennessee begins its Women’s College World Series run against Oklahoma on Thursday. Maybe the matchup is pushing the Lady Vols down the list despite taking a series from the Sooners in Norman during the regular season.

Just one loss is on the Tennessee postseason resume. A perfect Knoxville Regional was almost upended by Nebraska before winning Games 2 and 3 of the Super Regional.

Texas Tech Red Raiders (+1600)

Heavy investment in softball has paid off for Texas Tech. Particularly with pitcher NiJaree Canady, who pitched 14.0 innings against Florida State in the Super Regional, giving up just five hits and one earned run.

Canady’s brilliance is going to be needed moving forward in Oklahoma City for the Red Raiders to continue their journey. From an odds perspective, Texas Tech breaks up the run of SEC programs.

Oregon Ducks (+2500)

The first of two Big Ten teams sitting at +2500, Oregon will open with UCLA on Thursday. A regular season series did occur in Eugene as the Ducks took two of three.

That took place around a month ago. Stakes are completely different too, wanting to start out the WCWS with an incredibly valuable win.

UCLA Bruins (+2500)

Much of the same is true for UCLA, who come in with the same odds as their conference rival. A trip out East will have them forgetting what took place in late April.

Thursday night, scheduled first pitch at 9:30 p.m. ET, is a fitting start time for two West Coast teams facing off. Hopefully, the actual game itself provides in the same way.

Ole Miss Rebels (+3500)

Of the eight Women’s College World Series teams, seven of them were national seeds. Ole Miss is the lone wolf, advancing through the Tucson Regional and then beating Arkansas in Fayetteville during the Super Regional.

Avoiding the four other SEC teams to start could be an advantage, giving Ole Miss fresh faces on the other side. Even so, FanDuel is not too keen on their chances of winning first-ever national championship.
