The 64 groups have all heard their names called and are planning for regionals in the 2024 NCAA softball champion. In a year when there were couple of bid-stealing groups, there's not a great deal of controversy about who made the area. Seeding? Well, that's another story. Battle each other and its No. 3 RPI was slotted in as the No. 10 nationwide seed, meaning heaven Devils will certainly get on the roadway if they advance to extremely regionals. NCAA Department I Softball Board chair Kurt McGuffin claimed Duke's seeding was connected to its nonconference routine and relative lack of success versus top groups. Include in that the fact that the ACC is, at best, the fourth-ranked conference in Division I, and Fight it out could not climb over a few of the groups from other organizations to get a seed high enough to host heaven Devils overcome their frustration and advancement? If so, who will certainly join them?Below we break down every little thing you require to know about the 16 regionals, and who has the most effective opportunity of making it to the Super Regional round collection for May 23-26. Austin RegionalTeams: No. 1 Texas Longhorns 47-7, 23-4 Large 12), Northwestern Wildcats 33-11, 18-3 Large Ten), Saint Francis PA) Red Flash 40-12, 24-0 NEC) https://www.oregonsportsshop.com, Siena Saints 33-20, 12-11 MAAC)The Longhorns have the No. 1 seed for the very first time in program history. Winning the routine period crown in a very top-heavy organization will usually do that. While a lot of conference comparisons do not put the Large 12 on top of the stack-- the conference is third in most strength rankings behind both the SEC and the Pac-12 and it has 3 of the strongest groups in the country-- as Texas is one of them. This should be a reasonably easy regional for the hosts. Northwestern has actually been the power in the Big 10 in recent times, but the conference isn't awfully formidable any longer. The Wildcats will most likely fulfill UT in the regional last but don't overlook Saint Francis. The Red Flash have come to be regular site visitors to the NCAA postseason since 2017. They will certainly not be intimidated by their environments. They will not win the local, however they are greater than efficient in grabbing a win or more prior to they bow RegionalTeams: No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners 49-6, 22-5 Big 12), Oregon Ducks 28-19, 13-10 Pac-12), Boston University Terriers 52-4-1, 18-0 Patriot), Cleveland State Vikings 22-24, 14-10 Horizon)It's something when being the No. 2 nationwide seed is an action down from current years. That's just exactly how excellent Oklahoma has actually been. The Sooners lost a couple of more video games this year, yet they are still one of the favorites to win everything. That will certainly begin with what must be a simple go of points in their home local shows how much the weather impacted groups this year, specifically on the West Shore. While OU and BU both played well over 50 video games, the Oregon Ducks are available in with simply 47 played as a result of ought to place up a good fight. The Terriers played several power organization teams and acquitted themselves well. They are not likely to reach the local last, but they must provide Oregon a great video game in the opening round. It would be a surprise to see OU shed a game in this region, RegionalTeams: No. 3 Tennessee Girl Vols 40-10, 19-5 SEC), Virginia Cavaliers 32-18, 15-9 ACC), Miami OH) Redhawks 48-7, 26-1 MAC), Dayton Flyers 33-19, 19-7 A10)Tennessee is the initial of the 13 SEC groups in the field. Yes, all 13 teams made it again this period. That's a sticking point with several fans from other organizations, but the SEC was the premier seminar by every metric this period. Boyd's Globe iterative stamina scores, Warren Nolan's recreation of RPI, Massey Ratings. It matters not who you ask, they all return with the SEC being the does not indicate the SEC will be overly represented in the Women's University World Collection. Although that they on a regular basis placed more teams in the postseason than other organizations, they have actually neither won as numerous titles neither do they have a tendency to breakthrough as several teams to Oklahoma City as the Big 12 and Pac-12 do. Can Tennessee placed an end to that and win its very first championship?The Lady Vols are the ideal group from the most effective organization. They are strong offensively and stunning in the circle. While going chalk with every local thus far may seem like the very easy method out, there's little factor to believe the top three seeds will certainly be troubled on their home fields in these regionals. There's nobody in this region who had as much success versus other competition groups as Tennessee. Gainesville RegionalTeams: No. 4 Florida Gators 46-12, 17-7 SEC), South Alabama Jaguars 32-18-1, 16-8 Sunlight Belt), FAU Owls 41-14, 21-6 AAC), FGCU Eagles 37-19, 16-8 ASUN)The Florida Gators are among simply 2 SEC groups to ever win a championship game in softball. They have a tall job just to leave their local this period. That's because of the South Alabama Alabama is a team that confirms the factor of parity across the sport, also in the mid-major leagues. The Jaguars played a challenging nonconference slate once more this year and beat some actually great teams. They picked up victories versus South Carolina, Arkansas and Alabama when driving. They played Arizona to a 1-1 incorporate 11 innings on a neutral area. All four groups were placed and all four remain in the postseason. 3 are from the Jaguars are likewise in a relatively strong mid-major softball meeting. Do not be shocked if they progress from this RegionalTeams: No. 5 Oklahoma State Cowgirls 44-10, 21-6 Huge 12), Kentucky Wildcats 30-22, 8-16 SEC), Michigan Wolverines 41-16, 18-5 Large 10), Northern Colorado Rams 27-24, 9-5 Huge Sky)The Cowgirls will likely take control of the crown as the leading group in the Huge 12 following period when Oklahoma and Texas leave. They're excusable now with those two teams in the State, like Oklahoma, will certainly not have to leave their state through the whole postseason. Whether that's the best way to run the postseason is definitely available to has been examined through SEC competitors. OSU has actually been checked by some of the very best groups in the country on top of the Big 12. It's difficult to say they will not be battling it out on Sunday in the final. It must go the Cowgirls' method on their home area. They're 19-1 at Cowgirl Stadium this Angeles RegionalTeams: No. 6 UCLA Bruins 37-10, 17-4 Pac-12), Virginia Tech Hokies 39-12-1, 18-6 ACC), San Diego State Aztecs 31-18, 15-7 MWC), GCU Antelopes 48-11, 23-3 WAC)Virginia Technology obtained no favors from the committee, being sent throughout the nation to play 3 Western groups. On the other hand, there are openings in this won both the Pac-12 regular season and competition crowns. Nonetheless, the Bruins played less regular season organization video games than any person else in the conference. They obtained the front runner in the Pac-12 tournament over Stanford because they had three less losses. Stanford played 3 more league video games, Bruins are a challenging offensive group with a stacked lineup. They have a very young pitching core, though, and in spite of their season ERA, both Taylor Tinsley and Kaitlyn Terry are vulnerable to groups that have their own offending punch. UCLA went out in their home regional last season. It's completely possible that it occurs again. Any one of the top 3 groups might take this local, and GCU ought to a minimum of be RegionalTeams: No. 7 Missouri Tigers 43-15, 13-11 SEC), Washington Huskies31-13, 13-10 Pac-12), Indiana Hoosiers 40-18, 12-11 Large Ten), Omaha Mavericks 41-13, 14-4 Summit League)If the postseason came a month or so earlier, the Washington Huskies would possibly be hosting. The group ran right into bumpy rides down the stretch in the Pac-12 routine season and tournament. With the method they're currently playing, it's not likely that the Huskies offer Mizzou a run for its cash. It's unlikely that anyone else in this local does, either. Stanford RegionalTeams: No. 8 Stanford Cardinal 43-13, 17-7 Pac-12), Mississippi State Bulldogs 33-18, 12-12 SEC), Cal State Fullerton Titans 36-17, 22-5 Large West), St. Mary's CA) Gaels 30-22, 10-6 WCC)Stanford has the pitching to take it back to Oklahoma City. It upgraded its infraction with the addition of Taryn Kern, however the Cardinal still have difficulty scoring at times. Points have also gone sidewards on protection for them occasionally, which hurts a team that depends on pitching to win games. If Stanford's defense can back up ace NiJaree Canady, it must be no worry for the Cardinal in their home local. Baton Rouge RegionalTeams: No. 9 LSU Tigers 40-15, 12-12 SEC), California Golden Bears 36-17, 9-13 Pac-12), Southern Illinois Salukis 42-9, 23-4 MVC), Jackson State Tigers 31-17, 16-8 SWAC)LSU finished the period No. 4 in RPI, however like Battle each other, the Tigers fell in the seedings and will not be organizing a super local if they game in between Cal and Southern Illinois need to be the most competitive. The Golden Bears have a solid infraction, but they can have trouble keeping challengers off the board. The problem for the Saluki is that they are taking a large action up in competitors level. They played an instead soft nonconference timetable on top of remaining in a meeting that doesn't pile up to some of the completion, it's probably Cal against LSU for the local title with the home group RegionalTeams: No. 10 Duke Blue Devils 47-6, 20-4 ACC), South Carolina Gamecocks 34-22, 8-16 SEC), Utah Utes 34-20, 10-13 Pac-12), Morgan State Bears 29-18, 18-3 MEAC)Not only did Battle each other shed out on a leading 8 seed, the board also offered heaven Devils a difficult home regional. South Carolina is battle-tested from a strong organization and has good throwing. Utah began late in the period, beating Washington two times to finish the routine period and afterwards advancing to the Pac-12 Competition can go regardless. The Blue Devils could use the disappointment as gas to prove a factor or they can allow it and the unforeseeable competitors bewilder them. Any one of the leading three groups could take this RegionalTeams: No. 11 Georgia Bulldogs 39-16, 12-13 SEC), Charlotte 49ers 38-16, 21-6 AAC), Liberty Flames 36-23, 19-5 CUSA), UNCW Seahawks 33-21, 18-9 CAA)Georgia shows up to have a relatively easy course to very regionals, but that's just if you do not take a close consider Charlotte or Liberty. Liberty has a history of distressing power conference teams, including in the postseason. Charlotte had some big wins this season. The Bulldogs ought to win this local, yet it would not be a surprise to see it go the complete seven RegionalTeams: No. 12 Arkansas Razorbacks 36-16, 14-10 SEC), Arizona Wildcats 34-16-1, 13-11 Pac-12), Villanova Wildcats 31-22, 19-5 Big East), Southeast Missouri State Redhawks 28-24, 19-8 OVC)This local is established to be a Pac-12 vs SEC final. It would be stunning if it doesn't boil down to Arkansas vs Arizona for the right to advance. If that is the instance, it will certainly be the 3rd and potentially fourth) meeting in between both groups this season. They divided their first 2, each winning a 3-2 video game in 's run of 35 straight events ended last season, however it has advanced from regionals 32 times in 35 appearances. In 2022, the Wildcats went to SEC land for the postseason and knocked out both Missouri and Mississippi State to progress to the WCWS. If the Wildcats can pitch well sufficient, they have the offense to take another SEC group down this RegionalTeams: No. 13 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns 42-17, 22-2 Sunlight Belt), Baylor Bears 32-20, 14-13 Large 12), Ole Miss Rebels 31-25, 7-17 SEC), Princeton Tigers 29-16, 14-7 Ivy League)Louisiana has actually been among the best mid-major programs in university softball for a while. The Ragin' Cajuns are trying to make their initial WCWS and this may be their best chance. Baylor had a suitable proving in the No. 3 organization this period, however it is a team Louisiana can and did beat once this period. Ole Miss wound up 7-17 in the SEC and entered totally since it plays in the SEC. Princeton was 14-7 in the Ivy League and really did not play a very challenging nonconference timetable. The last ought to boil down to Louisiana vs Baylor. The groups divided their two matches this year, both of which were played in Lafayette. That wins the rubber game?Tuscaloosa RegionalTeams: No. 14 Alabama Crimson Tide 33-17, 10-14 SEC), Clemson Tigers 34-17, 15-9 SEC), Southeastern Louisiana Lions 45-13, 17-7 Southland), USC Upstate Spartans 30-21, 13-5 Big South)Alabama again obtained a greater seed than its RPI numbers and is holding a local with a shedding conference record, however at the very least it really did not leap completely into the top 5 like last period. It does have a reasonably very easy path to incredibly regionals, however. While Clemson could offer the Crimson Tide a little bit of problem, the Tigers didn't have stunning outcomes this season. They finished 34-17 overall and 15-9 in an organization that was placed 4th. The finals will boil down to these 2 teams and it could go to 7 games, yet Alabama should wind up on RegionalTeams: No. 15 Florida State Seminoles 43-14, 19-5 ACC), Auburn Tigers 27-19-1, 9-15 SEC), UCF Knights 30-23, 12-15 Big 12), Chattanooga Mocs 42-14, 16-5 Southern)While the Seminoles may not have actually played in a league that rated as extremely as Auburn's organization or UCF's league, they were dominant because league. FSU went 19-5 in the ACC while Auburn and UCF had shedding records in the SEC and Big 12, specifically. Under the situations, it is difficult to see either of those groups beating the Seminoles in Tallahassee. College Terminal RegionalTeams: No. 16 Texas A&M Aggies 40-13, 15-9 SEC), Texas State Bobcats 45-13, 18-6 Sunlight Belt), Penn State Nittany Lions 34-18, 12-11 Large 10), UAlbany Great Danes 33-12, 14-6 AEC)This may be the Aggies' home regional, but Texas State is the group that really stands apart. The Bobcats are yet much more proof that the Sun Belt is a leading softball seminar. Three groups made it right into the postseason with Louisiana organizing. Texas State has an actual chance to make it 2 groups progressing to supers. Obtaining to play the last seeded group just over two hours from San Marcos could be the ideal scenario TSU could wish for.
