Softball America Top 25 Rankings: Week 9
There was a shakeup at the top of the Softball America Top 25 poll this week after both Oklahoma and LSU lost series. While Texas remains in the top spot, the rest of our college softball rankings look quite different this week.

1. Texas (34-3) (Last Week’s Ranking: 1)
The Longhorns pulled out the series in Starkville as Teagan Kavan led the way in the series finale.
2. Florida (33-5) (4)
The Gators dropped a midweek game to UCF but bounced back with a sweep of Auburn. Oh, and Keagan Rothrock is back.
3. Oklahoma (31-3) (2)
The Sooners lost their series to Karlyn Pickens and Tennessee but have proved to be in the elite tier of teams. However, the pitching must be better.
4. Texas A&M (31-5) (5)
Texas A&M cruised in its non-conference week and now visits a struggling Georgia team.
5. LSU (31-4) (3)
LSU was swept in the doubleheader against South Carolina, losing the series to the Gamecocks. The Tigers still have been impressive, but they can’t let one series derail a great start to the season.

6. Florida State (33-5) (8)
The Seminoles have won 13 straight games leading into a midweek game against Florida. Can Florida State nab its first marquee win?
7. South Carolina (27-7) (10)
The Gamecocks have answered every question about them, and the pitching has stepped up. Could we be seeing a Super Regional in Columbia in the near future?
8. Oregon (31-3) (7)
The Ducks dominated in their two-game set over Rutgers.
9. Tennessee (29-7) (14)
What a weekend for the Lady Vols. The offense showed up to Love’s Field, earning two wins over Sam Landry and company. Can they keep it rolling against Mississippi State?
10. Arizona (31-6) (6)
Arizona tumbles a bit in the latest ranking because of attrition and the Wildcats dropping series finales they probably shouldn’t.
