The 2025 college softball regular season is in the books, and now it's time for one of the most exciting months on the sports calendar. Conference tournament action will set the stage for the NCAA Tournament and Women's College World Series. If SEC play has been any indication, this year might be the most wide-open run for the national championship in recent memory.
The SEC tournament will begin on Tuesday in Athens, Georgia, with the bottom four teams kicking off the action in the single-elimination bracket. Oklahoma won't play their first game until Thursday but will face the winner of the 8-9 matchup between the Mississippi State Bulldogs and LSU Tigers.
Oklahoma swept Mississippi State a few weeks ago and hasn't played LSU this season.
Now that the regular season is in the books, here's a look at the final SEC Softball Standings.
More: Social media reacts to Oklahoma Sooners clinching SEC championship
On the one hand, the Sooners clinched the SEC title. On the other hand, the series loss to Florida highlighted the pitching issues that could keep the Sooners from winning it all once again. They have the potential to be really good, but it's been a roller coaster ride of late.
The Aggies closed the season strong with a series win at Tennessee. They'll be a force in the SEC tournament.
Texas took care of business in Lexington with their sweep of the Wildcats. Oklahoma may have swept the Longhorns, but they're still a threat to win it all.
Tennessee may have lost the series to the Aggies, but they hold series wins over Oklahoma and Texas this season.
What a season for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Bri Ellis has been must-see television this year. She's hit .487 this season with 25 home runs and 68 RBIs. She should be the frontrunner for SEC Player of the Year.
It was a statement series win for the Florida Gators in Gainesville. Can they ride that momentum into the SEC tournament?
South Caorlina was picked to finish last in the SEC and exceeded all expectations.
Mississippi State closed the season with a series win over rival Ole Miss. They've been really good this year and when they get hot offensively can be tough to beat.
LSU came into conference play with just one loss and were one of the top five teams in the nation. SEC play has been a rough go of it.
Alabama's series loss to South Carolina dropped them in the standings and sets up an rivalry matchup in the SEC tournament with Auburn.
Ole Miss' only series wins this season came over Georgia and Missouri. They'll get Auburn in round one of the SEC tournament.
Georgia closed the season losing a series to last place Missouri. Not a great finish for a team that was picked to finish eighth in the SEC this season.
The Kentucky Wildcats were run-ruled twice against the Longhorns, but gave Texas a challenge in game two. Kentucky will take on Georgia in their first game of the SEC tournament.
A disappointing year for an Auburn Tigers team that made it to the NCAA tournament last season and had to watch Bri Ellis star for the Razorbacks.
Missouri has been around the bottom of the standings most of the season, but they finished on a high note with a series win against Georgia. The Tigers may not have won a lot of series, but they've taken games from Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State along the way.
