The Oklahoma Sooners (19-2) went 6-0 in their first homestand of the season, putting on an incredible offensive display on the way to outscoring their opponents 116 to 15 over the weekend. It was an awesome display of power at the plate as everyone in Oklahoma’s lineup showed off their hitting prowess.
Despite the power surge, the Sooners stood pat in this week’s Softball America rankings, landing at No. 6. That is due in large part to undefeated weeks from everyone ahead of the Sooners.

19-0 Tennessee remained the No. 1 team in the nation this week after going 5-0 with notable wins over Penn State. Following the Vols are Texas Tech, Texas, Alabama, and Arkansas to round out the top 5. Following Oklahoma at No. 6 are the UCLA Bruins, Florida Gators, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Florida State Seminoles.
The biggest mover this week was UCLA, which moved up three spots from No. 10 to No. 7 in the rankings.
The Sooners are one of 11 SEC teams ranked in the top 25 this week. SEC play will begin for a number of schools this weekend, while Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State will continue their nonconference portions of the schedule.
Here’s a look at the latest Softball America rankings after this weekend’s action.
