I am providing a ranking of the composite poll rankings of the NFCA Coaches, ESPN, D1 and Softball America polls and also show the current RPI value for each team. Any team that was in the Top 25 of one of these polls is listed below.
W-L Team …............. - Pts Polls RPI
48-1.. Oklahoma …....... - 4 - #1 - 1
40-6.. VA Tech ….......... - 8 - #2 - 2
49-5.. Florida State .... - 12 - #3 - 3
The 3 teams above seem to be entrenched into their positions.
41-9.. Arkansas .......... - 17 - #4 - 6
37-8.. Arizona State .... - 22 - #5 - 12 - How does the lower RPI affect AZ State's seeding?
41-10. Alabama .......…. - 24 - #6 - 4
40-8.. UCLA .............. - 27 - #7 - 5
38-12. Oklahoma State . - 33 - #8 - 7
40-7.. Duke .............. - 36 - #9 - 9
I think the Top 8 seeds come from the 9 teams above. Whether the last two teams are is Duke or Arizona State or Oklahoma State will be interesting.
39-9.. Northwestern ... - 40 -#10 - 10
38-15. Tennessee ....... - 45 -#11 - 8 - Can Tennessee vault themselves into the Top 8 if they win the SEC Tourney?
34-13. Washington ...... - 45 -#11 - 14
41-15. Florida ........... - 51 -#13 - 13
35-16. Kentucky ........ - 57 -#14 - 22 - How far does the RPI move Kentucky down?
37-16-1. Texas ......... - 61 -#15 - 15
37-14. Clemson ......... - 62 -#16 - 11 - How far does the RPI move Clemson up?
44-12, Central Florida . - 72 -#17 - 16
39-14. Auburn ........... - 74 -#18 - 28 - The low RPI has to move Auburn down, right?
39-9.. Notre Dame ..... - 76 -#19 - 18
40-15. Georgia .......... - 79 -#20 - 20
34-20. LSU ............... - 84 -#21 - 19

33-19. Missouri ......... -106 -#24 - 21
31-17. Oregon .......... -106 -#24 - 17 - Oregon is a mystery between polling and RPI.
38-16. Ole Miss ......... -109 -#26 - 26
35-13. San Diego St ... - 109 -#26 - 47 - Do they need to win the conference to get in the tourney?
32-18. Arizona ......... - 115 -#28 - 42 - Do they get in the tourney at all?
Trying to provide food for thought.
