1. Arkansas (Prev. 2)
Arkansas is the new No. 1 team in the nation in my Power 10 this week after following up a series win over Texas A&M with a series win over LSU to end the regular season. With the series tied up, Payton Burnham threw a complete game shutout to secure the Razorbacks鈥 sixth-straight SEC series win.
2. Oklahoma (Prev. 1)
Oklahoma lost the series to Florida, so it moves out of the top spot 鈥 only down to No. 2 in my book. The Sooners are 43-7 headed into the SEC tournament. They made a big push in the 7th inning of the rubber match, but then fell short this past weekend, losing the series.
3. Texas A&M (Prev. 5)
Texas A&M won a big-time series over Tennessee. After losing Game 2, the Aggies run-ruled the Volunteers in five innings to clinch the series. Emiley Kennedy was pretty incredible in the circle, picking up both wins, tossing a one-hit complete game shutout in Game 1 before pitching all five innings in the run-rule.

4. Oregon (Prev. 4)
Oregon remains at No. 4. A lot of polls have the Ducks lower, but I think this is a proven ball club, with all the pieces both in the circle and at the plate and with enough big-time wins over UCLA, Florida State and Tennessee to be a top-five team at the end of the regular season.
5. Tennessee (Prev. 3)
At five, we have Tennessee dropping two spots with the series loss to Texas A&M. Despite falling in the series, the Vols won the prior five series in the SEC, including over Oklahoma and Texas.
6. Texas (Prev. 6)
Texas stays put at No. 6. The Longhorns swept Kentucky as Katie Stewart had a standout week at the plate, batting .778 in the sweep.
7. Florida State (Prev. 7)
At No. 7, FSU. This is the only placement I struggle with because I do think Florida State can be justified higher in the rankings. But there are just so many good teams in the top 10 with increased parity that I saw no way of moving any of the other teams down with a lot of top 10 and 25 wins 鈥 one of the most important aspects of my Power 10 rankings. The Seminoles, though, won the series over Virginia Tech in impressive fashion in the first two games. Jazzy Francik threw a no-hitter against a ranked opponent as a true freshman.
8. Florida (Prev. NR)
Florida re-enters after winning the series over Oklahoma. Taylor Shumaker batted .556 in the series and smashed her first career grand slam in Game 2 to lead the Gators to the series win. Kendra Falby did Kendra Falby things in center field. The Gators are back in 鈥 just in time for the SEC tournament.
9. Texas Tech (Prev. 9)
And then my No. 9 and 10 teams stay the same to end the regular season with Texas Tech and Clemson. The Red Raiders won the series over BYU, in the midst of a historic season with NiJaree Canady leading the way.
10. Clemson (Prev. 10)
Clemson was off last weekend and stays put at 10 ahead of the ACC tournament.
