The Oklahoma Sooners have one more game this weekend in Oxford against the Ole Miss Rebels and remain at No. 5 in the nation in Softball America's latest national rankings. Despite the Sooners being one of just two teams undefeated in SEC play, Oklahoma is the fourth-highest rated SEC squad this week.

The Texas Longhorns recaptured the top spot in the rankings after a pair of run-rule wins over Baylor this weekend. Texas' only loss came back on February 7 when they lost to No. 9 Nebraska. They've since won 26 in a row. They take the top spot from Tennessee, which lost its three-game series to Florida this weekend. The Gators moved up from No. 7 to No. 3 behind Texas and Texas Tech.

The Volunteers dropped three spots to No. 4 this week.

In this week's top 25, 10 SEC teams are featured, including No. 6 Alabama and No. 9 Arkansas. That gives the conference six of the top 10 teams in this week's rankings.

After Oklahoma finishes their series with Ole Miss on Monday night, they'll travel to Baton Rouge to take on the No. 20 LSU Tigers. LSU earned a series win over South Carolina, who was previously ranked inside the top 25.

Here's a look at this week's rankings from Softball America.
