Let’s re-rank the remaining 16 teams that will compete in the super regionals for a spot at the Women’s College World Series. 

This is, in my opinion, taking their original seedings and adjusting them based on their regional performance. 

1. Oklahoma (Tournament's No. 2 national seed)

Oklahoma is at No. 1 with the top-seeded Texas A&M knocked out. It’s really the offense right now that impressed me the most, with just a crazy duo of Kasidi Pickering and Ella Parker, who have experience going the distance in the postseason.

2. Arkansas (No. 4 seed)

I moved Arkansas up to 2. The Razorbacks went 3-0 in their regional, with a close call against Oklahoma State on Day 2, but they absolutely crushed them in the regional final, 12-0. Arkansas didn’t even need the bat of Bri Ellis in the final game, and the pitching is lights out right now. I liked how the Razorbacks looked in the regionals. 

3. UCLA (No. 9 seed)

UCLA was dominant, so I moved them up to 3 — a really big jump from their original seeding. The Bruins run-ruled every game and gave up just two runs all weekend. Plus, they have the incredibly terrifying duo of Jordan Woolery and Megan Grant. I just think when they have it all clicking, this UCLA team can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the country. 

4. Florida (No. 3 seed)

Florida won every game of the regional — and the offense looked really good. The Gators just moved so that I could move up Arkansas and UCLA. Taylor Shumaker looked great all weekend, and the offense made up for the pitching staff giving up six runs to Florida Atlantic. 

5. Texas (No. 6 seed)

Texas moves up a spot to five. I thought the Longhorns looked impressive in the regionals, run-ruling Michigan as the offense exploded for 16 runs. Teagan Kavan shut out UCF in the regional final.

6. Tennessee (No. 7 seed)

Karlyn Pickens and the entire Tennessee staff handled an offense-heavy regional with ease. The Vols shut out the powerful Ohio State offense and didn't allow a home run to the top homer-hitting team. Plus, the offense went off, too. 

7. Florida State (No. 5 seed)

Florida State moves down a couple of spots as the first team on the list to lose a game in the regionals. But other than the one loss to Auburn, the Seminoles handled the rest with ease and shut out the Tigers in the if necessary game with experienced players like Michaela Edenfield stepping up at the plate. 

8. Texas Tech (No. 12 seed)

The bats have been hot for the Red Raiders, and combine that with NiJaree Canady at her best, and you have a dangerous Texas Tech team. Mississippi State did have some success at the plate against Canady in the final, but the Texas Tech offense got them through. 

9. Nebraska (No national seed)

At 9, how about Nebraska and Jordy Bahl. To think one of the best pitchers in the country reached base in every single at-bat is insanity. She hit four homers in four at-bats to start the weekend. If she can continue that level with the help of players like Ava Kuszak at the plate, Nebraska can go the distance. 

10. South Carolina (No. 8 seed)

This is just a small drop for the Gamecocks, mostly because of other teams just moving up. South Carolina didn’t necessarily dominate, but it swept their regional nonetheless. It managed to get the bats going later on to accompany good pitching from Sam Gress. 

11. Clemson (No. 11 seed)

Clemson stays put. The Tigers went 3-0 in the regional, but they didn’t overly impress to jump any spots from where they were originally seeded. They squeaked out an extra-inning win against Northwestern on Day 2, then pulled out a 5-1 win over Kentucky in the regional final.

12. Alabama (No. 15 seed)

At 12, Alabama jumps a few spots from No. 15 after getting past Virginia Tech. This was not an easy regional by any means, with Emma Lemley in the circle for the Hokies and then the nation's top home run hitter in Cori McMillan, but the Bama pitching staff was impressive. The Tide will need to keep it up to contain OU’s lineup, which they’ve done before, and the offense needs to come alive. 

13. Oregon (No. 16 seed)

At 13, we’ve got Oregon jumping a bit from their original No. 16 seed. It came down to the absolute wire and a clutch swing from Dez Patmon to walk-off the Cardinal. But it was impressive to get past a hot Stanford team, beating the Cardinal by 10 to force an if necessary game. The Ducks just showed grit and the will to win, even with not everything going for them at once. 

14. Liberty (No national seed)

How about the Liberty Flames. They made history in more ways than one, taking down the No. 1 seed for the first time ever in a regional — in College Station — is incredibly impressive. We saw just how talented this team could be. There was no one stopping Rachel Roupe in that regional. The Flames battled through some miscues and had Emiley Kennedy’s number. But they were always able to punch back. 

15. Ole Miss (No national seed)

Ole Miss took down Arizona and so went from unseeded to No. 15. The Rebels hit 11 home runs during the regional and kept up the hot streak from the SEC tournament. It will be a tough matchup with Arkansas’ lineup performing at its peak, but this is still a team they beat two out of three from earlier in the season. 

16. Georgia (No. 16 seed)

And at 16, Georgia, with another upset of a national seed. The Bulldogs took down Duke in extra innings as Jadyn Goodwin hit a go-ahead bomb in the 8th inning. The pitching was just what they needed to get it done. This UGA team has supers experience, back now for the third straight season. It knows how to get it done, and the Bulldogs have a rivalry super matchup with Florida to look forward to.
