I know in softball as in baseball, any team can beat any other team. Not so sure this time after watching Oklahoma this season and through the playoffs.

It's a little unfortunate the way the bracket came together that OU and Texas are on the same side as I think UT is the legit #2 team. Contrary to my pre-season prediction that UT wouldn't make it, I have to say they looked pretty tough through the playoffs. Luna delivered a statement yesterday, but I don't see them beating OU. I'll take Tennessee on the other side of the bracket.

Agreed, Oklahoma is steam rolling, I'm hoping my Gators can pull out a 2nd place!

Oklahoma will take the ship. However routing for Tennessee to defy some odds and be that #2.

If last year is any indication, the weather will beat the Sooners. Rain and storms forecast all weekend.
Don't worry about tomorrow. You did that yesterday.

Alabama's mental approach to dealing with that rain delay was much more conducive to success than Oklahoma's, and at that level when talent it pretty much equal, mental approach is critical. It will be interesting to see how the Sooners deal with it this time.

The Sooners dealt with some weather earlier this week and then came back to run rule A&M twice - so we will see.

This would have been a great year that they re-seed the teams when they get to the WCWS. Each side of the bracket could have had one team from that conference. With each side having either the conference champion or next best team. I would have place them in brackets of ( Florida, Michigan, Washington and Texas. Other bracket being Oklahoma, Arizona St., Nebraska and Tennessee. Hope weather holds up and I expect upsets..... will happen.
