The 2025 SEC Softball season has lived up to the hype. There have been some phenomenal series across the conference, and the top of the league has several teams that will vie for the SEC championship and the national championship.
Oklahoma's series loss to the Tennessee Volunteers created a lot of movement in this week's power rankings, but so did South Carolina's series win over LSU. The league is beginning to beat up on itself a bit, showing there are some strong programs even outside of the top three or four teams.
So what do the SEC Power Rankings look like after another fantastic weekend of softball action?
