The start of the 2019 college softball season is right around the corner, and the Oklahoma Sooners look like strong contenders in the national championship hunt once again.
Oklahoma currently sits at No. 4 in both the NFCA preseason coaches poll and the USA Softball collegiate preseason poll. The Sooners were also picked to win the Big 12 for what would be an eighth consecutive regular season Big 12 title, and the program’s 11th overall.
Oklahoma has been named a preseason top-10 pick in both major polls for nine straight seasons, good for the nation's longest active streak.
