The Oklahoma Sooners jumped to No. 1 in the nation in Softball America's top 25 released on Monday , and the Sooners are also No. 1 in the updated D1Softball poll .
Oklahoma took the top spot from Alabama, despite the Crimson Tide earning a sweep of Auburn over the weekend. Alabama dropped to No. 2 while Texas Tech, Texas, Nebraska, Arkansas, and Florida stayed in their spots from a week ago.
Continuing their rise are the Tennessee Volunteers, who are now up to No. 8 in the nation, having won six in a row, including a sweep of Kentucky. Six of the top 10 teams in D1Softball's top 25 are from the SEC, along with 10 in the top 25.

After the series win over the Longhorns over the weekend, the Sooners have put themselves in a position for a strong finish to the season against quality competition.
