NCAA softball tournament bracket predictions: Projecting where all 64 teams will be seeded

[ASFN Admin]

We're counting down the days until Selection Sunday for the 2025 NCAA softball tournament, but which teams will make the field of 64?

It's safe to say there will be a slew of SEC teams represented when the bracket is unveiled Sunday night (6 p.m. CT, ESPN2). The league is projected to get 14 of its 15 softball-playing schools into the field, which would set a new NCAA record.

The SEC is projected have nine of the 16 regional hosts — including league newcomers Texas and four-time reigning NCAA champion Oklahoma.

Here is our projected field of 64 entering play Thursday:
