The two major polls have Arizona softball ranked in the Top 10 despite the Wildcats’ loss to Kentucky last weekend. After week two, Arizona moved up one spot in the USA Today/NFCA poll to No. 8 and one spot in the ESPN/USA Softball poll to No. 10.
Part of the reason for Arizona’s rise in the polls comes down to a terrible weekend by Texas and a difficult weekend for Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls were ranked No. 7 in both polls last week but went 2-3 against a tough field in Clearwater, Fla. The Longhorns were ranked 10th last week by USA Softball but went 0-5 to plummet to No.
