One other week of faculty softball means it is time for the newest Energy 10 rankings. NCAA.com’s Michella Chester dives into her Week 6 evaluation.
1. Oklahoma (beforehand 1)
Oklahoma stays on prime of my Week 6 faculty softball Energy 10. Make that two straight SEC collection sweeps over ranked opponents now. It’s nonetheless the only undefeated crew within the nation. Sam Landry was fairly spectacular within the circle and pitched 11 scoreless innings within the collection. Plus, only a freshman, Gabbie Garcia hit .538 with three bombs.
2. Texas (beforehand 2)
Texas stays at No. 2 with a powerful collection win over a fellow prime crew within the nation. Teagan Kavan picked up each wins by the primary two video games, after which the crew had some clutch and well timed hitting when wanted. Two of the very best groups within the nation are battling it out.
3. LSU (beforehand 4)
LSU strikes to No. 3 because it has only one loss on the season and has been so spectacular to begin the yr. It dealt with Kentucky in three straight video games. Maci Bergeron had a profession day within the collection finale with two dwelling runs and 5 RBIs, and Sydney Berzon moved to 12-0 on the season.
4. Florida (beforehand 3)
I virtually stored Florida at No. 3 regardless of the collection loss to Texas. It gained the collection finale, and you could keep in mind the Gators competed in opposition to what some may say is the very best crew within the nation with out their ace, Keagan Rothrock. I nonetheless personally suppose this is among the prime groups within the nation that might be competing for a title on the finish of the yr, however with 4 losses now, I switched them with LSU.
5. UCLA (beforehand 5)
UCLA stays at No. 5 after sweeping Purdue. Taylor Tinsley was lights out.
6. Oregon (beforehand 6)
Oregon gained the collection over Washington, nonetheless solely three losses on the season now. Katie Flannery had per week, hitting .692 with 4 dwelling runs and 12 RBIs.
7. Texas A&M (beforehand 7)
Texas A&M swept Auburn to remain put at No. 7. Emiley Kennedy tossed a one-hit shutout on Sunday.

8. Arizona (beforehand 8)
Arizona stays at No. 8 this time round.
9. Tennessee (beforehand 9)
Tennessee stays on the No. 9 spot after sweeping UConn.
10. South Carolina (beforehand 10)
Lastly, for 10, I went forwards and backwards with the resumes of South Carolina and Florida State for the ultimate spot. South Carolina was in final week and dropped a midweek to Coastal Carolina. But it surely gained the collection over Georgia, a crew that’s well-ranked and competing within the SEC. I’m retaining them in for now.
