I don’t think OU is gonna take a huge step back but like, that was a hell of a senior class you graduated. Gonna be hard to replace all of that at once. In the circle and at the plate 

Maybe the best senior class in the history of the sport. I’ll let others opine on that. I don’t think we’ll take a huge step back either. I could see a 48-12 or 50-10 type season coming up though. Our non-conference schedule should allow Patty to do work getting the team ready for the SEC grind. I still think it comes down to OU/UT at the top of the conference. It’s going to be a fun ride getting there though.

I would not discount Florida - Texas and Florida bring back the most experienced pitching staff of the 3 contenders.

Agreed. Not discounting them at all. Just have a hunch they’ll finish third. Wouldn’t be a surprise to see any of those three win the SEC tournament. Everything for all three of those teams is about getting ready for OKC in May.

It’s going to be an interesting first season in the SEC for both of us. I’m ready for softball to start, not to mention baseball. I don’t get the consternation of OU slotting in at 3 in the preseason rankings. I think that’s fair given what we lost. Let’s just get on the diamond and get the games going this week! 

Given OU's dominance over the sport, I don't think anyone was wrong to have slotted them at #1. I don't always think that for returning champs, but geez.

If the top 3 in the final SEC standings aren’t a combination of Texas, OU, and Florida then some team had a surprisingly strong year 

The 1 other team who I think can break into the top 3 is aggy. 

Kennedy was really good for them and they do not face OU or Texas. 

Really unbalanced schedules can create some wonkiness - 

OU plays Florida, Texas, Tennessee
Texas plays Florida, OU and Tennessee
Florida plays OU, Texas, aggy
aggy plays Florida and Tennessee

Goode is capable of stepping up in that role. She has shown flashes of talent against weaker pitching staffs, now she just needs to take the next step against some better pitching 

Hopefully Singleton made some good strides with Goode and also Bennett from ACU.
