The Oklahoma Sooners moved up one spot in the latest NFCA Coaches Poll after their sweep of the Ole Miss Rebels in Oxford. The Sooners landed at No. 5 in the nation, in the same spot OU landed in Softball America’s latest rankings.
The Sooners come in behind Texas, which ranked No. 1 following Tennessee’s drop in the polls. Texas Tech is No. 2, followed by Florida at No. 3 and the Volunteers at No. 4. Tennessee fell from the top spot after its series loss to Florida.
Oklahoma and Texas are the only two teams undefeated in SEC play through three weekends. The Longhorns take on the Texas A&M Aggies in a top 25 matchup this weekend in Austin.
Oklahoma’s next series comes against the LSU Tigers, who moved up two spots to No. 20 in the rankings after their series win over South Carolina. The Sooners and Tigers face off this week in Baton Rouge.
