Oklahoma Sooners in the rankings after sweep of Arkansas in SEC play
The Oklahoma Sooners remained undefeated over the weekend with a sweep of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Although they were tested in all three games, they were able to get just enough hits and just enough outs to remain the only undefeated team in Division 1 softball.
Oklahoma is receiving contributions from a mix of veterans, transfers, and youth alike in their incredible start to the season. Two weeks into SEC play, and the Sooners are still the top team in college softball despite the turnover they suffered this offseason. True freshman Gabbie Garcia won SEC Freshman of the Week last week and on Tuesday was named SEC Co-Player of the Week. Transfer pitcher Sam Landry was named SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week after a dominant performance against the explosive Arkansas offense.
Oklahoma was voted the No. 1 team in the nation in three of the four major rankings in softball. In the two most important, the NFCA USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, the Sooners are No. 1. D1 Softball and Softball America are split on how they see the Sooners at this point in the season. The Sooners are top two and after a 26-0 start, it's safe to say they aren't two.
Here's how the Sooners stand in the major rankings after week two of SEC play.
| Poll | Ranking |
|---|---|
| NFCA USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll | 1 |
| ESPN.com/USA Softball | 1 |
| D1 Softball | 1 |
| Softball America | 2 |
| NCAA Softball RPI | 8 |
The Sooners are trailed by the Texas Longhorns, who come in at No. 2 in the nation in every spot the Sooners are No. 1. Only Softball America has the Longhorns ahead of the Sooners, but most of that is based on preseason rankings. The Longhorns are certainly a threat to dethrone the Sooners in 2025, as are the Florida Gators. But so far, the Sooners have been up to every challenge they've faced.
Oklahoma still has matchups against top-10 teams like Tennessee, Texas, and Florida and a matchup with one of the early surprises in conference play, Mississippi State. It seems unlikely that the Sooners will remain undefeated, but they're putting together another incredible season.
