It’s not getting simpler to rank the highest 10 groups in faculty softball. The highest 10 is totally loaded, and we’re in for a deal with because the race for the WCWS begins.
Beneath are my Energy 10 rankings for Week 11 of the common season.
1. Texas A&M (Prev. 1)
Texas A&M moved into the highest spot final week, and regardless of dropping one sport of its sequence with Missouri, I didn’t assume it warranted the Aggies being moved simply but. They’re nonetheless on the high of a loaded SEC convention for now.
2. Tennessee (Prev. 2)
Tennessee holds regular at No. 2. The Vols swept Auburn final week and have now gained or swept their previous 4 SEC sequence.
3. Texas (Prev. 3)
Texas gained its sequence over LSU to stay within the high three. It was an exhilarating ending within the sequence finale to stroll it off, and featured some clutch, gutsy softball from the Longhorns.

4. Oklahoma (Prev. 4)
Oklahoma additionally stays put at No. 4 after sweeping Mississippi State. Kasidi Pickering and Ella Parker have been so constant on the plate, and Hannah Coor hit two bombs.
5. Oregon (Prev. 7)
Oregon took an enormous bounce, coming into the highest 5 after successful a top-10 sequence over UCLA. Together with a midweek win in opposition to Oregon State, Lyndsey Grein went 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 13.1 innings. She struck out 18 throughout these three wins and has simply been phenomenal within the circle for the Geese. I didn’t need to transfer anybody down by any means, however Oregon deserves the credit score. This can be a crew that beat Tennessee and Florida State twice, and now gained the sequence over a extremely good UCLA crew.
6. Florida State (Prev. 6)
Florida State is true behind Oregon for now due to the Geese’ two head-to-head wins in March. The Seminoles didn’t play video games final week, in order that they keep put.
7. Arkansas (Prev. 5)
Arkansas did what it wanted to do final week, solely sliding down due to Oregon’s bounce. However I’m completely pumped for the upcoming top-10 showdown this week between Arkansas and Texas A&M.
8. UCLA (Prev. 8)
UCLA stays within the high 10 at No. 8. Regardless of the sequence loss to Oregon, the Bruins did beat the Geese handily in Recreation 2. Freshman star Addisen Fisher pitched a complete-game shutout within the win. There is not any doubt UCLA is a top-10 crew in my thoughts.
9. Florida (Prev. NR)
Florida re-joins the Energy 10 this week after successful its sequence over Alabama. The Gators don’t have any dangerous losses this yr, and now with back-to-back SEC sequence wins, they re-enter. Korbe Otis had an exhilarating walk-off single within the finale in opposition to Alabama, and Reagan Walsh was 3-for-3 on the plate within the one-run win to clinch the sequence.
10. South Carolina (Prev. 9)
Lastly, South Carolina drops one spot to No. 10. The Gamecocks swept Kentucky, with a 7-0 win in Monday evening’s finale. Sam Gress tossed her first shutout of the season. I thought-about transferring Texas Tech into the Energy 10 after a sequence win over Arizona, however South Carolina has the head-to-head edge, so the Gamecocks maintain on to a spot.
