Now would be an excellent time to start paying some attention to the Longhorns’ softball team in coach Mike White’s first year in Austin. Texas is currently ranked No. 6 in the RPI, No. 8 in the Softball America poll, No. 9 in the ESPN.com poll, and No. 10 in the Coaches’ poll, and with a 29-6 record they look like a real threat to make a Women’s College World Series run.
Oklahoma remains the class of the Big 12, but Texas has its strongest squad in years and looks poised to finally challenge the Sooners for conference supremacy.
