Other top-seeded teams in the 2025 NCAA softball tournament outside the SEC include No. 5 seed Florida State, No. 9 seed UCLA, No. 11 seed Clemson, No. 13 seed Arizona State, No. 14 seed Duke and No. 16 seed Oregon.

NCAA Softball Tournament is set to start on Friday, May 16 with 64 teams chasing the ultimate prize. The Oklahoma Sooners have won four National Championships in a row, and look to extend their record-setting streak to five.

OU fell behind 6-1 to Arkansas in the third inning of last Friday’s SEC tournament semifinal, got to within 6-5 by the sixth, then won 8-6 on Garcia’s walk-off three-run homer. It was the biggest comeback in SEC tourney history. The next day’s championship game against Texas A&M was rained out and the teams were named co-champions.
