Missouri softball ranked in top 10 of preseason polls

January 25, 2012 By

The Missouri Tiger softball team was picked 6th in the coaches and 5th in the USA Softball preseason polls. Mizzou is coming off a 53-13 season and they made their third straight trip to the Softball World Series.

Oklahoma and Baylor at 5th and 7th, sandwiched around Mizzou in the coaches poll. Oklahoma State is 11th, Texas A & M and Texas are 17th and 18th respectively. Missouri flip flops with OU in the USA Softball poll with OSU, A & M and Texas in the second half of the poll, but what I paid particular attention to was the number of SEC schools that are in the top 25.

Florida and Alabama are both ranked ahead of Mizzou. Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and LSU also debut in both polls.  Half of the conference is ranked in the top 25.
