I think this poll is right and Texas is the team to beat this season. I know Oklahoma is the 4 time champ and until someone take them down they are the king of the hill, but I think they lost a lot of talent and will have a tougher time repeating this season. Yes they are more than capable of making it 5 in a row.

I believe this will be the Longhorns year.
OU should find it much tougher sledding in the sec this season

Y'all are funny. OU and Texas are literally 1 and 2 and played in the Big 12 last year and Oklahoma State has been and is a top 5 school but the SEC is too tough.

How fast can these girls get into finishing under pressure shape. Since they play 50+ games in a season (Feb-Jun), that will give Patty time to teach how to close games.

It will be harder for OU this year but I won’t count Patty out until she’s out. She has a way to get most out of players.

OU plays texsa in Norman at a 4k+ facility that will be packed and cheering hard against texsa.

OU has to play Florida in Gainsville AND so does texsa.

In past years, TU has had trouble in Norman, and although OU has done well in Austin, that is where TU has their wins.

I would assume UF wins the TU series and likely the OU series. How they hold up on the road will determine their SEC standings.

Personally, I would change UF and TU and keep OU #2.

I would have to check but Texas has like 1 win in Austin or Norman in the last decade. OU has owned them and the Sooners took out Texas and Florida in the last 2 series last year for the natty.

dont know why you guys keep saying that we played harder competition in the big 12 lol....... OSU and Texas made the last two world series.
Top end talent in the sec is Tenn UF. The rest are average teams . OU is stacked and will win the conference. The talent we have is incredible even if the are young we also have a bunch of elite transfers we just got. No team including UF and Texas has the talent we do. As I have said UF and Texas are going to be tough games no gimme games but OU rises when it counts in the world series.
