RPI. Games through the 13th. We'll see if there's any changes with the two Oklahoma schools. They have favored conference champs in seedings consistently.

Seeing the ACC schools, I was reminded of this from the Virginia Tech game(s) during the Easton Bama Bash.

FSU beat Clemson for the ACC title. OSU over OU for the Big 12. AZ St. won the PAC (vs UW.)

That's a solid take. I only see two teams in the ACC that may be able to challenge them: Duke and Clemson. I can easily see VT in the Super's.

Think FSU might have a say.

Alabama will be lucky to get a top 8 seed (host a super). Wouldn’t be surprised if they get a 9-10 seed.

 

[Rsedge72]

OU
FSU
Arky
OSU
Va Tech
ASU
UCLA

Top 7. After that it’s a crap shoot!!!

 

[64Tide]

After one and done in the SEC tourney, they should be well rested.

It gets muddy when you look at the entire field. Every team ranked above Bama in the RPI took a loss this weekend.

@Rsedge72 I'm thinking UCLA and Bama flip places. A #5 RPI is favorable for the ladies.

That would be great!!!!
Stay home through the supers, and maybe some thing can fall into place…..

IF the RPI mirrored the bracket ...

 

[TerryP]

Look at where Louisiana is ranked. They've got a #2 seed, I'd certainly think, and Tuscaloosa looks like a logical location.

UCF to Florida State?

Murray State with the tie...eight inning game called for rain.

2022 NCAA softball bracket: WCWS schedule, bracket for Oklahoma City

Here's a look at the 2022 NCAA softball bracket and schedule, including for the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.

UNC Wilmington makes their first WCWS. They're at Clemson with Auburn and Louisiana. So far that's the toughest regional I've seen.

I agree,
The Duke regional looks like tough on to navigate as well
They’ve got Georgia and liberty…

The Duke is an interesting one. In case you missed it, Duke did run rule Georgia in the middle of May.

There's a good chance we'll see A&M face the Sooners. That idea leaves me shaking my head a bit, smirk and all. Whew.

Arizona State might want to keep an eye on LSU never knowing which team is going to show up. Not hosting a regional, at least, has to be a craw ...

Kentucky in Blacksburg: they can be a pretty good team at times.

If Bama’s scoring woes continue and some pitching adjustments are not made they will not make it out of the regionals.

 

[BamaFan334]

@TerryP is softball like basketball where conference champs get automatic bids? I ask due to Prairie View and their record.

 

[alabama mike]

I just hope we play better than we have of late.
