Movin' on up

 

[Voldemonium]

Help me understand something... We beat Bama 2 of 3 yet are ranked behind them in both polls? Was this poll compiled before last weekend or is Bama's SoS that much higher than ours? Just curious.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I'm curious why Missouri is showing 8th with a 10-2 record. Have I missed something?? Also, it looks like it will come down to FL & AL for us to beat for the SEC title.

Missouri has had a tournament and a game with Texas A&M cancelled.

Well, they did win a NC and were number 1 at one time this season so they get credit for that. That's about how these rankings from these experts go. At times they seem arbitrary. This season is ours. Collegiate World Series all the way.
GO LADY VOLS SOFTBALL!

Congrats to Ivy... NFCA pitcher of the Week and National Pitcher of the Week

Its strange she is National pitcher f the week, but can't get a sniff for SEC pitcher of the week. How can the selection process in the SEC be so flawed?
